Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The atoms that make up a newborn baby were made in ancient stars through the process of nucleosynthesis. For atoms heavier than copper, they were formed through supernova explosions. Photosynthesis and atomic fabrication cannot create atoms, and radioactivity is a natural process that involves the release of energy from unstable atoms, not the creation of atoms.
