The three-dimensional compositions have more silicon in comparison to those composed of independent tetrahedra.  

The silicate minerals refer to the most general of Earth's minerals and involve feldspar, quartz, mica, pyroxene, amphibole, and olivine. On the other hand, the silica tetrahedra composed of oxygen and silicon, produce sheets, chains, and frameworks, and bonds with other cations to produce silicate minerals.

Answer:

More

Explanation:

This question refers to a group of minerals known as silicates. Silicates are minerals that contain silicon and oxygen in some proportion. These are the most common minerals in both the Earth's crust and mantle, making up 95% of the crust and 97% of the mantle. Although silicates often have very similar chemical formulas, they polymerize to form a variety of structures. Three-dimensional structures have more silicon than those composed of independent tetrahedra.

explain how it helps in increasing the shelf life of fruits and vegetables based on membrane transport​
motikmotik

Answer: There are two categories of cross membrane transport, active and passive. While active transport requires energy, passive transport relies on concentration differences inside and outside of the membrane. With films that cover the outermost membrane of the fruit (the skin), this concentration gradient can be removed or slowed so membrane transport is also slowed and as a result, the fruit stays fresh longer. A good analogy for this is considering evaporation in an open jar on a hot day versus if there was a lid on the jar. Both jars would be in the same conditions, but the jar with the lid would retain more water.

Explanation: have a great day:)

What genus of protists appears to contradict the statement that unicellularity restricts cell size?
Soloha48 [4]

The correct answer is D. Caulerpa

Explanation:

Protists are a type of unicellular organisms that are eukaryotic which means they contain a defined nucleus but that are not plants, animals or fungus. Considering protists only contain one cell in most of the cases they are small or restricted in size this includes Dictyostelium which are microscopic organisms that consume bacteria and plasmodium. However, in the case of Caulerpa, these are not limited to size as Caulerpa is a type of alga that has macroscopic cells and indeed in some cases can be around 3 meters long. On the other hand, Ulva is also an alga but is considered in the plants' domain and therefore is not a protist. Therefore the one that contradicts contradict the statement that unicellularity restricts cell size in protists is the Caulerpa.

All cells can synthesis ATP by way of glycolysis. Many cells have to metabolize pyruvate without oxygen by doing...?
Dominik [7]

Answer:

Anaerobic respiration

Explanation:

As rightly stated in this question, cells of all living organism synthesize ATP via the process of cellular respiration. Cellular respiration, however, occurs in stages starting with GLYCOLYSIS, which breaks down glucose to form PYRUVATE.

The metabolism of pyruvate in subsequent steps depends on whether the respiration process is occuring with or without oxygen. Without oxygen, pyruvate is metabolized in a process called ANAEROBIC RESPIRATION. Anaerobic respiration employs other molecules asides OXYGEN for last electron acceptor.
