Uranium-235 undergoes fission to produce two neutrons per fission event. if a neutron-absorbing material is mixed in with this sample so that the rate of neutron production drops down to 0.5 neutrons per fission event, which of the following will be effective at achieving a critical mass? check all that apply. surround the sample with a deflective material to prevent neutrons from escaping to the surroundings. add more absorbent material. compress the uranium-235 sample.

The answers that apply;

Compressing the uranium sample ensures that the few neutrons emitted per fusion event, have a higher probability of hitting another uranium atom.

The neutron that manages to pass through the sample without hitting a uranium atom to continue to the fusion chain reaction is deflected by the deflective material back to the sample hence doubling it the probability of colliding with a uranium atom.

starchy vegetables are high in carbohydrates.

starchy vegetables contain more carbohydrates than non-starchy vegetables.

explanation:

there are two primary categories of carbohydrates, essentially differentiated on the basis of their carbohydrate content (which is in the form of starch - a complex carbohydrate):

those vegetables which contain little amounts of starch are termed as non-starchy vegetables, and some examples include: artichokes, broccoli and bean sprouts.

vegetables high in their starch content are distinguished as starchy vegetables, and some examples include: potatoes, chickpeas and corn.

some fungi obtain their nutrients from a living host (plant or animal) and are called most biotrophic fungi have fairly narrow host ranges—they are specialized on a limited called rhizomorphs that allow the fungus to grow from one tree to another. ascospores are formed inside a sac-like structure called an ascus. so your answer is a
