Gazala makes a graphic organizer to compare nuclear fission and nuclear fusion.

A venn diagram with 2 intersecting circles The circle on the left is labeled fusion. The circle on the right is labeled fission. There is a Y in the fission circle. There is an X in the intersecting area.

Which labels belong in the regions marked X and Y?

X: Provides household electricity
Y: Has rods containing uranium
X: Provides household electricity
Y: Requires high temperature and pressure
X: Converts mass into energy
Y: Does not produce usable amounts of energy
X: Converts mass into energy
Y: Is controlled by neutron absorption

X = Converts mass into energy
Y = Is controlled by neutron absorption

Explanation: Both fission and fusion release energy by converting a small amount of mass to energy (E = mc^2). Fission reactors are controlled by inserting/withdrawing neutron-absorbing control rods (and use uranium fuel rods).
