If we guide ourselves with the Moh´s scale:

Material scratches apatite → material is harder than 5.

Material is scratched by corundum → material is softer than 9.

Conclusion:

The hardness of the unknown material stands between 5 and 9.

Note:  

Both apatite and corundum are defining materials (reference materials in the Moh´s scale). So, you can also give an answer using defining materials:

"It can either be an orthoclase feldspar, a quartz or a topaz".

Hope it helped,

Why would natural selection not occur without genetic variations in species?
Mumz [18]

If you do not have variations to be selected by natural or sexual selection on their superior abilities to survive and reproduce successfully then nothing can be naturally selected against the immediate environment.

How does the movement of materials across the cell membrane relate to an<br> organism’s survival?
ioda

I believe it relates because as we know the cell membrane is permeable meaning that allows oxygen, carbohydrates, food to enter the cell but it doesn't allow the entrance of large molecules that harm the cells.

After all the movement around it, matters because for example without food the mitochondria won't be able to create the energy and then with that energy, the nucleus to use it to complete the main the activities of the cell.

Hopefully this what you meant when you asked the question. Have a nice day/evening
