Both nuclear fusion and nuclear fission reactions release large amounts of energy (answer D)

Further Explanation

Fusion and fission reactions are reactions involving atomic nucleus reactions

Fission reaction is a nucleation division reaction by firing a particle usually neutron so that it gets smaller particles of atomic nuclei.

Example:

Uranium nuclei division reaction

$_{92}U^{235}\:+\:_0n^1\:------\:_{54}Xe^{236}\:+_{38}Sr^{94}$

In this reaction, Uranium splits into Xe and Sr isotopes and releases energy and gamma radiation

Energy is generated based on the isotope mass from the beginning of the reaction and after division

A fusion reaction is a combining reaction of 2 atomic nuclei. Usually what is often used is a reaction between the hydrogen isotope that will form Helium

Ti + D -> He + n

Isotopes of Hydrogen Tritium and Deuterium form Helium

Let's look at the answer choices

a.release radioactive waste.

fusion nuclear reactions do not produce dangerous gamma radioactive waste as in fission nuclear reactions.

So wrong statement

b. involve the splitting of atoms.

This reaction only occurs in fission reactions, whereas fusion reactions are the merging of atomic nuclei

So wrong statement

c. are utilized in nuclear power plants.

In this plant only the fission reaction process is applied which produces heat energy to drive an electricity-generating generator

So wrong statement

d. large amounts of energy release.

Both fusion and fission reactions produce large energy due to the presence of atomic nucleus reactions

So this statement is true related to both fusion and fission reactions

Answer from: Quest

he uptake of drugs from the intestine is often strongly influenced by diffusion. for example, consider a water-insoluble steroid for treating inflammation that is solubilized in aggregates of detergent molecules, called micelles. these micelles, aggregates of 80 soap molecules, have a molecular weight of 24,000, a diameter of 2.6 nm, and a charge of -27. the positively charge ions (counterions) in this system are na".
