Fusion and fission are similar in that they both reduce mass and thereby release binding energy.

How is bianry fission a similar process?

Binary fission is a similar process for multiple reasons. One reason is that it is a form of asexual reproduction. It also replicates DNA during its process. The process also ends in cytokinesis.


What Organelles divide by fission?

Organelles that divide by fission include mitochondria and chloroplasts. Both of these organelles are thought to have originated from ancestral prokaryotic cells and retain the ability to replicate independently of the cell cycle. This process of division is similar to binary fission observed in bacteria, allowing them to grow and multiply within the eukaryotic cell. Additionally, some peroxisomes can also replicate by fission.


Are all fission events in a chain reaction identical?

Nuclear event in a chain reaction could be said to be similar, but not identical. We need to look a bit more closely at a fission event to understand why. In a fission event in a chain reaction, a neutron is absorbed by a fissile nucleus, and the resulting instability causes that nucleus to fission, or split. When the nucleus splits, it splits into two approximately parts (called fission fragments), but not the same two parts will appear in every fission event. And one, two or three neutrons might appear, depending on exactly which two fission fragments appear. The total energies in the events will vary from event to event as well, and this has something to do with the energy the absorbed neutron brings when it is absorbed. We know fission events are similar, but there are variations that preclude them being identical.

In what ways are fission and fusion similar?

Fission and fusion are both nuclear reactions that release energy by altering the nucleus of an atom. Both processes involve the splitting or combining of atomic nuclei to release energy.

How are fusion and fission similar to chemical energy?

Fusion and fission are both nuclear processes that release large amounts of energy by breaking or combining atomic nuclei, while chemical energy involves the breaking or forming of chemical bonds to release energy. All three processes involve converting mass into energy through different mechanisms.
