C)a type of hydrogen fusion that uses carbon,nitrogen,and oxygen atoms as catalysts
D)the period of a massive star's life when carbon,nitrogen,and oxygen are fusing in different shells outside the core
E)the period of a low-mass star's life when it can no longer fuse carbon,nitrogen,and oxygen in its core

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The CNO cycle (Carbon-Nitrogen-Oxygen cycle) is a type of hydrogen fusion process that occurs in stars. In this cycle, carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen atoms act as catalysts to convert hydrogen into helium, releasing energy in the process. This cycle is more dominant in stars that are more massive than the Sun.
