Which is a characteristic of nuclear fusion but not nuclear fission? releases large amounts of energy is the energy source of stars is used in electric power plants requires little energy to occur

"Is the energy source of stars," is the correct answer as nuclear fusion is the energy source of stars, as the statement states.

"Requires little energy to occur," is an incorrect answer as Fusion requires a lot of energy to occur.

"Releases large amounts of energy," is incorrect as this is a characteristic of Fission.

"Is used in electric power plants," is incorrect as this is typically Fission.

Hope this helps!

The correct answer is "the energy source of stars".

Explanation:

There are two types of nuclear reactions: Nuclear fusion and Nuclear fission.

Nuclear fission: Nuclear fission is a nuclear reaction in which the heavier nucleus splits into the daughter nuclei with huge amount of energy. Atom is based on nuclear fusion.  

Nuclear fission is used to generate the electricity.

Nuclear fusion: Nuclear fusion is a nuclear reaction in which the lighter nuclei fuse to give heavier nuclear with tremendous amount of energy.

Nuclear fusion takes place in the Sun. Nuclear fusion takes place in star. There is a conversion of hydrogen into helium. It takes place at high temperature.

Therefore, the given options, "the energy source of stars" is not a characteristic of nuclear fusion but not nuclear fission.

i can ! i just need to know what the paragraph is! : p
