Question

choose the correct statement regarding energy production in the interior of a star and energy production in a power plant. a nuclear power plant uses fission as an energy source by building larger atoms from smaller atoms. a star uses fusion as an energy source by building larger atoms from smaller atoms. a nuclear power plant uses fusion as an energy source by building larger atoms from smaller atoms. a nuclear power plant uses fusion as an energy source by breaking apart atoms.

Explanation:

Nuclear power plants use fission (breaking apart atoms) for energy, while stars use fusion (combining smaller atoms to form larger ones) for energy production.

Answer:

A star uses fusion as an energy source by building larger atoms from smaller atoms.
