1 answer:

7 0

Iron, Gold, Aluminum, Sapphires and Copper are the metallic minerals while Quartz, Calcite, Diamond, Rubies, Emerald, Topaz, Coal and Petroleum are the non-metallic minerals.

<h3>What are minerals?</h3>

Mineral is a chemical compound which is normally crystalline in nature. It is a solid substance present in nature made up of one or more and elements which are combined together.

It is formed as a result of geological processes . For example it includes quartz, calcite, sulphur, clay minerals etc. Minerals are used in the production of ceramics oftenly.

Properties of minerals :

1. They have characteristic chemical composition

2. They have highly ordered atomic structures

3. They have several physical properties such as hardness, luster and cleavage.

Thus, Iron, Gold, Aluminum, Sapphires and Copper are the metallic minerals while Quartz, Calcite, Diamond, Rubies, Emerald, Topaz, Coal and Petroleum are the non-metallic minerals.

Explain the mechanisms for movement of materials across cellular membranes anatomy

trapecia [35]

There are 2 types of transport mechanisms that involve the movement of materials across the cellular membrane:

1. Passive Transport Mechanisms which is the movement of materials that does not require energy. Instead the movement relies on the permeability of the cell. Under this are three kinds of passive transport mechanisms:

a. Simple Diffusion:
- the movement of materials from a region of higher concentration to lower concentration. No external energy is necessary for the movement. The materials supply the energy themselves.

b. Facilitated Diffusion:
- This differs from simple diffusion because the movement is facilitated by proteins that make up the structure of the membrane. The proteins include channel proteins that allow ions and smaller molecules to cross the membrane. The other protein are the carrier proteins, which bind to materials like sugar molecules and move it across the membrane.

c. Osmosis:
- This is the diffusion of water across the membrane. Osmosis moves water from regions where there are more water molecules of water per volume to regions where there are less water molecules per volume.

2. Active transport on the other hand is a movement mechanism that requires energy. It uses the energy to send materials against the direction it is coming from through simple diffusion. This mechanism is used in a way to keep unwanted ions or other materials out of the cell.

Greece.

Between the 1st and 5th centuries AD, Indian art was influenced by the culture of ancient <u>Greece</u>. During this period, India was ruled by several foreign dynasties. The first among them were Greeks (called as Indo-Greeks) who had great artistic skills during the time. The Greek artistic influence can be seen in mathura School of art and Gandhara School of art--where the hands were Greek but ideas were Indian.

Balance the chemical reaction of water<br><br> H2+02 — H20 <br><br> Added photo plz if you can help

Sphinxa [80]

H2+1/2O2-->H2O

since there are two atoms of hydrogen present in the reactants and in the product you don't need to add any number before H2

we add 1/2 before O2 because only 1 atom is needed for the water molecule
