When Synthesized elements fall apart they are?

When synthesized elements fall apart, they undergo nuclear decay or radioactive decay, which can result in the release of radiation and the formation of other elements as byproducts. This process can occur due to the unstable nature of these artificially produced elements synthesized in a laboratory.


What is the name for this process?

The process you are referring to is called "transcription." Transcription is the process in which messenger RNA (mRNA) is synthesized from a DNA template.


What term is given to the process of rearranging electrons in a semiconductor by adding atoms of other elements?

Doping is the term used to describe the process of adding atoms of other elements to a semiconductor to alter its electrical properties by rearranging the electrons.


What synthesizes cholesterol and fat?

Cholesterol is primarily synthesized in the liver. The process involves the HMG-CoA reductase enzyme. Fat is synthesized in the liver as well through a process called lipogenesis, which converts excess carbohydrates into fatty acids and then into triglycerides.


Why are elements heavier than oxygen not produced in stars like the sum?

Elements heavier than oxygen, like the elements in the periodic table from iron to uranium, are produced during supernova explosions. These explosions occur when massive stars reach the end of their life cycle and undergo a catastrophic collapse. The extreme conditions present during a supernova allow for the fusion of lighter elements to form heavier elements through processes like rapid neutron capture (r-process) and slow neutron capture (s-process) nucleosynthesis. This is how elements heavier than oxygen are synthesized in the universe.

What organelle is insulin synthesized?

It is synthesized in the cytoplasm by the process of translation.


The process by which RNA is synthesized from the DNA?

Transcription


Translation is to protein as transcription is to?

Translation is to protein as transcription is to RNA. Transcription is the process by which RNA is synthesized from DNA, while translation is the process by which proteins are synthesized from RNA.


What is meant by service of process?

"Process" is the general term used to describe the filing of a lawsuit. The service of process is what happens when the defendant is officially informed that he or she is being sued.


What term is used to describe the the process of copying DNA?

Replication is the term used to describe the process of copying DNA. Or perhaps transcription.


What elements were synthesized during the big bang and why did the process stop?

During the Big Bang, primarily hydrogen, helium, and trace amounts of lithium and beryllium were synthesized in a process known as Big Bang nucleosynthesis. This occurred within the first few minutes after the Big Bang when temperatures and densities were extremely high, allowing protons and neutrons to combine and form these light elements. The process stopped as the universe expanded and cooled, making it too low in temperature for nuclear fusion to continue. Consequently, the formation of heavier elements was largely relegated to stars and supernovae in later cosmic epochs.


What is the general term used to describe the process by which polymers are produced?

Polymerization is the general term used to describe the process by which polymers are produced. It involves combining monomers to form longer chain molecules, resulting in the formation of polymers. This can occur through various methods, such as addition polymerization or condensation polymerization.


How is element 115 synthesized?

Element 115, known as Moscovium (Mc), is synthesized through nuclear reactions, specifically by bombarding isotopes of elements such as Californium (Cf) with calcium ions. In a laboratory setting, this involves using particle accelerators to collide these elements at high energies, leading to the formation of Moscovium through the fusion of their nuclei. The synthesis process results in very few atoms of Moscovium being produced, which are highly unstable and decay quickly into lighter elements.
