The material which is used as source for commercial production aluminum is bauxite.

The aluminum can be extracted from bauxite ore by the process of Bayer process.

In the Bayer process, bauxite ore is heated in the pressure vessel along with a caustic soda solution (sodium hydroxide) at a temperature between 150 to 200 °C. At this temperatures, the aluminium is dissolved in the solution as sodium aluminate in the extraction process. After separation of the residue by filtering, when the liquid is cooled gibbsite is precipitated and then it is seeded with fine-grained aluminum hydroxide crystals from previous extractions. The precipitation take 7-19 days without the addition of seed crystals.

This extraction process converts the aluminium oxide to soluble sodium aluminate, NaAlO2, which afterward converted into aluminum hydroxide and then into aluminum oxide.

Thus, we concluded that the material which is used as source for commercial production aluminum is bauxite ore.

Gnesinka [82]
The mass of an ink pen with a triple beam balance if all the weights positioned to the right would be a maximum of 610 grams which sounds rather heavy for an ink pen but in the absence of necessary information it seems that that would have to be the answer.

An increase in the ratio of insulin to glucagon will increase the activity of which of the following enzymes (+ indicates activi
AleksAgata [21]

Answer: An increase in the ratio of insulin to glucagon will increase the activity of --

- Acetyl-CoA carboxylase(+)

-Phosphofructokinase PFK2(+)

-Glycogen synthase(+)

- Hormone sensitive lipase (-). The hormone sensitive lipase activity is not increased with increased insulin activity.

Explanation: increased insulin - glucagon ratio is usually high in fed state.Insulin helps the cells absorb glucose, reducing blood sugar and providing the cells with glucose for energy. When blood sugar levels are too low, the pancreas releases glucagon. Glucagon instructs the liver to release stored glucose, which causes blood sugar to rise.
