Sand is a granular material composed of finely divided rockand mineral particles. It is defined by size, being finer than gravel and coarser than silt. Sand can also refer to a textural class of soil or soil type; i.e., a soil containing more than 85 percent sand-sized particles by mass.[1]
The composition of sand varies, depending on the local rock sources and conditions, but the most common constituent of sand in inland continental settings and non-tropical coastalsettings is silica (silicon dioxide, or SiO2), usually in the form of quartz. The second most common type of sand is calcium carbonate, for example, aragonite, which has mostly been created, over the past half billion years, by various forms of life, like coral and shellfish. For example, it is the primary form of sand apparent in areas where reefs have dominated the ecosystem for millions of years like the Caribbean.
Sand is a non-renewable resource over human timescales, and sand suitable for making concrete is in high demand.[2] Desert sand, although plentiful, is not suitable for concrete, and 50 billion tons of beach sand and fossil sand is needed each year for construction.

Haploid because during meiosis one cell divides twice to for four daughter cells.
Answer:
Eukaryotes
Explanation:
Eukaryotic cells have membrane bound organelles.
Prokaryotic cells do NOT have membrane bound organelles.
So, a Eukaryotic cell has structures such as a nucleus, mitochondria, a golgi complex, etc. This provides the cells with distinct stuctures that have distinct functions.
consider the expression of a protein (protein synthesis.) Transcription of the DNA into RNA happens within the nucleus. The mRNA is sent from the nucleus to the cyctoplasm, where translation occurs at either the rough endoplasmic reticulum or the free floating ribosomes.
A prokaryotic cell has all of its machinery floating around inside its cytoplasm with no separation. In these cells, transcription and translation both occur in the cytoplasm. In fact, translation often begins before transcription is finished...
