& Evolution of Stars
Nucleosynthesis is the process in which nuclei fuse together to form different elements. The table summarizes nucleosynth
stars.
Life Stage
Main Nucleosynthesis Process
main
Hydrogen is fused into helium.
sequence
giant or
A smaller star fuses helium into carbon and oxygen. A massive star
supergiant also fuses heavier elements up to iron.
The core of a smaller star contracts into a white dwarf. A massive
death star contracts and then explodes into a supernova that creates
elements heavier than iron.
What conclusion can be made from the table?
OA. Nucleosynthesis produces less energy in smaller and younger stars.
O B. Nucleosynthesis speeds up over time as stars progress through their stages.
OC. Nucleosynthesis creates all elements on the periodic table by the time a star dies.
OD. Nucleosynthesis varies based on the mass and stage of the star.
