The computer chips come from semi conductive minerals usually germanium, silicon, and finding those in nature is not always easy but, they are minerals they are properly manufactured, firstly they are melted down and then are pulled into a giant single crystal that is perfectly shaped to fit the needs of the computer chip manufacturer, then they are cleaned and cut within a few thousandths of a inch usually thinner than a piece of paper and smaller than a rice grain, then etched with UV resin, washes, and copper to make microscopic pathways for transistors and so forth, then after that they are put into they're cases and have the very small like thinner than a hair small gold electrical wires attached to each point of the chip.So from a outside perspective yes they are still minerals but refined and manufactured to fit a purpose entirely different than the material itself is.

Serhud [2]

Answer:

d. wave shock

Explanation:

An adaptation can be defined as a phenotypic trait that makes an organism and/or species better suited to its environment, thereby this organism/species will have more chances to survive and reproduce in such conditions. Rock-dwelling aquatic animals have different ecological, morphological and behavioral adaptations to survive in this type of environment. In this regard, it is well-known that these organisms show dorsally flattened bodies, since it is one fundamental morphological adaptation which helps them to dissipate the force of the waves.

How does carbon dioxide enter leaves?
melomori [17]
Plants get the carbon dioxide they need from the air through their leaves. It moves by diffusion through small holes in the underside of the leaf called stomata. These let carbon dioxide reach the other cells in the leaf, and also let the oxygen produced in photosynthesis leave the leaf easily.
