Chapter 17, Problem 39A

To determine

To Explain: From where the atoms that make up a new born baby manufactured.

Explanation of Solution

Introduction:

In the history of the human evolution, first living organism was found in the water after the several billion years of the formation of earth. Various elements make the human body. Each element consists of atoms and each atom consist a nucleus.

Matters and the energy both are the same thing having different forms. After the Big Bang, tremendous amount of energy was released in the form of electrons, quarks, photons. Due to high temperature of the universe, these particles were not combined. As universe cooled down and expanded, quarks come together to form the protons and neutrons. After that neutron and protons come together to form nucleus.As universe expanded slowly, it took around 380000 years to trap electron around the nucleus to form an atom. First of atoms were of hydrogen and helium. Presently it is observed that the many heavier atoms form inside the stars core.

As human body contains number of elements. Those elements come with its birth. Before birth these elements provided by the mother. Fundamentally, atom is not created not destroyed, it only changes its form. With this analogy,atoms that make up a new born baby is originally come from the core of the star.

Conclusion:

Therefore, atoms that make up a new born baby originally come from the core of the star and through mother these atoms make the newborn baby.
