<em><u>Answer:</u></em>

  • Identify whether the mineral has a chemical composition.

<em><u>Explanation:</u></em>

In order to determine whether an unknown substance is a mineral tests to determine some properties need to be done.

Mineral's properties are key to establish its identity because the properties are determined by the chemical composition and crystal structure, or the way that the atoms are arranged.

Mineral properties include: color, streak. luster, density, hardness, cleavage and fracture, among others.

PART A: Which of the following statements best describes a central idea of the text?
White raven [17]

Part A: B  AquAdvantage salmon has DNA from other fish that lets it grow faster and in different conditions than regular Atlantic salmon.

The entire text talks about how these genetically modified salmon could be a better food source if it was approved by the FDA. One of the reasons is because it grows faster and in different conditions so it is easier farm.

Part B: C  Paragraph 14

This paragraph supports part A because it specifies that the AquAdvantage salmon can grow to full size in half the time of Atlantic salmon.

3. D  The FDA temporarily reversed its approval of transgenic salmon as food after listening to public concerns.

Originally the FDA, after extensive research, decided the genetically modified salmon was safe to eat and not harmful to the environment as long as it was farmed in facilities and not released in the wild. The text then goes on to say, "But so many people objected that the FDA decided to reconsider its decision." The other statements are simply incorrect.

4. C  They show that people already eat genetically modified plant food without any issues or protest.

In the paragraphs, it explains that people in Canada are already eating some genetically modified food such as "tomatoes, corn, soya, canola, squash, milk products and other foods".
