juin [17]3 years ago

1. The answer is; soil.  When rock weathers, it disintegrates into small and smaller particles. When these fine rocks particles combine with organic matter from living organisms, they make soil. The mineral component of the soil is therefore similar to that of the parent rock from which it came from.



2. Chemical weathering involves the reaction of the rock mineral with ‘chemicals’ or other compounds. These may include reaction with organic acids or acidic rainwater.  Due to the chemical reaction, the rock chemical composition changes and the physical appearance may also look different.



3. The answer is limestone rocks. They are made of carbon-carbonate minerals. Carbon carbonate is easily dissolved by acids include slightly acidic rainwater/ precipitation.        

CO2 + H2O → H2CO3 (carbon dioxide + water → carbonic acid)

H2CO3 + CaCO3 → Ca(HCO3)2 (carbonic acid + calcium carbonate → calcium bicarbonate)




4. Weathering of rocks is slower in cold regions than dry regions. This is because cold places do not encourage chemical weathering. Chemical weathering requires higher temperatures to  increase the energies of the chemical atoms so that they react fast.

Scientists can use mutants to study metabolic pathways. These organisms have a mutation in a gene encoding a metabolic pathway e
lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

Pyruvate kinase

Explanation:

Yeasts convert glycerol and sugars into glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate (G3P) through independent pathways. Then, G3P forms pyruvate and, in some circumstances, pyruvate is converted in ethanol, which can be used as energy sources. If the mutation affects any reaction before G3P formation, it will only affect yeast growing either on sugar or pyruvate but not both.

Pyruvate kinase is the only enzyme on the list acting after G3P is formed and before pyruvate is formed. All other options are enzymes acting only in the formation of G3P from sugars. Meaning that only pyruvate kinase mutants will lack the ability to grow on both sugars and glycerol.
