How is carbon created?
Some carbonation, such as that in beer, is made by yeast. The yeast cells consume glucose and metabolize it anaerobically (without oxygen). This process is called fermentation. The byproducts of yeast fermentation are EtOH and CO2 (alcohol and bubbles).
Stars combine Hydrogen to make Helium during nuclear fusion. Living things are made of heavier elements like Carbon Oxygen Iron and Calcium. How did these elements form?
answer?
Where did carbon dioxide oxygen and nitrogen come from?
from massive stars that have evoleved long ago
Where does the hydrogen in glucose ultimately come from?
All elements were created in the big bang. All the protons and neutrons and electrons joined to form many different stable compounds. Carbon, hydrogen and oxygen are some of the most abundant of elements, but like to join onto other elements as well. This means it is very hard to obtain pure hydrogen.
Where did the water really came from?
From space, out of stars. The "big bang" did not make any oxygen, thus there was no water until stars formed it, and then blew up spreading it through the galaxy.
Why can the nuclei of carbon oxygen and iron can be found in stars?
Because they are all made inside of stars.
How are the elements carbon nitrogen and oxygen produced in stars like the sun?
These fusion (carbon , nitrogen , and oxygen) reactions form nuclei of sightly heavier elements.
Why would white dwarf stars have less amount hydrogen?
A white dwarf is the remnant of a star that has fused all the hydrogen and helium in its core, leaving mostly carbon and oxygen nuclei.
What unlikely fusion takes place in the stars that produces carbon?
Formation of the carbon atomic nucleus requires a three way collision of helium nuclei (alpha particles within the core of a giant or supergiant star. These three helium nuclei are converted into carbon by means of the triple-alpha process. [See link] This carbon is then scattered into space when the star explodes as a supernova. For smaller stars the Bethe-Weizsäcker-cycle or CNO cycle (carbon-nitrogen-oxygen) [See link] , is one of two sets of fusion reactions by which stars convert hydrogen to helium. In the CNO cycle, four protons fuse using carbon, nitrogen and oxygen isotopes as a catalyst to produce one alpha particle, two positrons and two electron neutrinos. The carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen isotopes are in effect one nucleus that goes through a number of transformations in an endless loop.
Where can carbon be found?
Carbon is found in abundance in the sun, stars, comets and atmospheres
What does carbon plus copper plus oxygen make?
I know that carbon plus oxygen equals iron and iron is what kills stars...
Where were the elements carbon oxygen and iron formed?
The elements carbon, oxygen, and iron were formed in the interiors of stars that have since dies and exploded, spreading their contents through dust clouds that later formed other stars and solar systems.
How is carbon synthesized?
On Earth carbon is not synthesized, we have what we have.In the Sun carbon is not synthesized.In red giant stars carbon is synthesized by nuclear fusion of 3 helium nuclei to produce 1 carbou nucleus. However this carbon will remain inside the star.
What does nuclear fusion create inside of stars?
Inside the sun, nuclear fusion creates helium nuclei from...a. oxygen nuclei. b. beryllium nuclei.c. carbon nuclei.d. hydrogen nuclei.The answer is d. hydrogen nuclei.
Where can samples of Carbon-14 be found?
Fresh Corpses or Stars.
How do beryllium carbon and oxygen produce star?
As helium builds up in the sun's core, other fusion reactions occur. Over time, two or more helium nuclei can fuse, forming beryllium. Another helium nucleus can fuse with a beryllium nucleus, forming carbon, and so on. Stars the size of the sun do not contain enough energy to produce elements heavier than oxygen. But larger stars do.The Sun isn't making those elements; what of them exist are the result of production in other stars. Currently, the Sun makes only helium, which, although it's really a gas, was named "sun metal."Edit: The Sun will make heavier elements later, but only up to oxygen. The way stars like the Sun make carbon and oxygen is by nuclear fusion. This is the same way they make helium from hydrogen. This process of making elements is called nucleosynthesis. The details can get quite technical, but the basic idea isthat one atomic nucleus combines with another to produce the nucleus of a new element.
What creates copper carbon and oxygen?
Copper, carbon, and oxygen, like most other elements, are created by fusion and fission processes in the cores of stars or during the explosions that are supernovas.
