Basically two atoms collide and form another atom plus a spare neutron and releases energy. The two atoms to start with are normally the isotopes of hydrogen, deuterium and tritium, and will form helium when fused together.

Where does DNA change to RNA in the cell?

Because DNA never leaves the nucleus, it is in there that DNA is transcribed onto a mRNA molecule which then leave the nucleus through the nuclear pores to head out to a ribosome to be translated.


Why is a blank used in salivary amylase?

A buffer solution containing sodium phosphate and sodium chloride is added to the salivary amylase to maintain a constant pH level during the enzymatic reaction. The buffer helps ensure that the enzyme retains its activity and stability.


An endergonic reaction is a reaction in which the change in Gibbs free energy is what?

An endergonic reaction is a reaction in which the change in Gibbs free energy is positive, indicating that the reaction requires an input of energy to proceed. This means that the products of the reaction have more free energy than the reactants.


Do enzymes change shape after a reaction occurs?

While the structure of an enzyme can, and often does, change over the course of a reaction, after a reaction has completed, enzymes are returned to their starting state. It is worth noting that certain cofactors (such as ATP or GTP) may also need to be replaced in order for the reaction to procede again.


Substances that enter a reaction are termed?

A substance which enters into a chemical reaction is called a reactant.In a chemical reaction-also called chemical change- one or more reactants (the initial substances that enter into the reaction) change into one or more products (the final substances that are present at the end of the reaction).

Why is a transmutation calssified as a nuclear reaction?

because that's what it takes to change one element to another, a change to the nucleus.


What are the nuclear change?

Nuclear change is the change in the nucleus of the atom.


Difference between nuclear reaction and chemical reaction?

AnswerNuclear reactions involve changes in the nucleus of atoms -- the number of protons and/or neutrons is changed. Chemical reactions do not cause any changes at all in the nucleus. Instead, in a chemical reaction, the electron clouds of atoms are interacting, and all changes are occurring with the electrons that surround the nucleus.


Nuclear reactions change the composition of an atom's?

Nuclear reactions change the composition of an atom's nucleus, hence nuclear reaction.


During nuclear reaction two protons change into what?

In the nuclear fusion process in the sun, two protons change into a proton and a neutron, plus also a positron and a neutrino. This is part of the synthesis of helium and release of energy which powers the sun. You can see the complete chain of reaction at the link below


Reaction that involves a change in the nucleus?

Nuclear reactions involve changes in the nucleus of an atom, such as nuclear fission (splitting of a nucleus) and nuclear fusion (combining of nuclei). These reactions release large amounts of energy and are the basis for nuclear power and weapons. The products of these reactions can be different elements and isotopes.


What is a change in an atom's center called?

In atom's centre its Nucleus present which is consist of two parts protons and neutrons, in a chemical reaction nucleus doesn't take part, only electrons take part, when there is a change in nucleus, its due to "Fission" or "Fusion" reaction, Atomic blast and the electricity producing from nuclear energy perform the same reactions.

What is it called when the number of protons in an atom change?

The only way to change the number of protons in an atom is with a nuclear reaction.


What is an example of nuclear reaction?

A nuclear change -- involves changes in nuclear structure, such as fission (splitting) of a nucleus or an atom, or fusion (combining) of neutrons and protons to form heavier atoms. This involves about 1,000,000 times as much energy as a chemical change. And also a nuclear reactor is a device to initiate and control a sustained nuclear chain reaction. The most common use of nuclear reactors is for the generation of electrical power (see Nuclear power) and for the power in some ships (see nuclear marine propulsion). This is usually accomplished by methods that involve using heat from the nuclear reaction to power steam turbines. There are also other less common uses as discussed below. All nuclear reactors are devices designed to maintain a chain reactionproducing a steady flow of neutrons generated by the fission of heavy nuclei. They are, however, differentiated either by their purpose or by their design features. In terms of purpose, they are either research reactors or power reactors.


What happens when you change the?

The proton becomes a positron (charged particle without mass) which is then radioactively decayed. The same thing is beta capture which bands the nuclear strong force (a strong nuclear force) to decay the nucleus into a band of stability.
