Answer:

Sandstone takes many thousands of years to form.

Explanation:

A renewable resources are resources that can be replenished within a period of human life. Renewable resources like wind and water can be replaced almost immediately after usage.

A non renewable resources are resources that cannot be replenished within a human lifetime. This resources takes roughly thousands or millions of years to form. Example of these resource includes sandstone, Limestone and Shale.

Sandstone is a Clastic sedimentary rocks formed from sediments degradation, cementation and compaction . The rocks are mainly composed of sand size mineral particles. The sediments that form this rocks are produced due to weathering and erosional  degradation of rock particles.

Generally, the process of sandstone formation takes thousands or millions of years to form. Sandstone formation passes through the stage of weathering of preexisting rocks, transport of the weathered materials, deposition , compaction and finally cementation to form sandstone. All this stages usually take thousand or million of years.

Multiple Select Question
Diano4ka-milaya [45]

The TRUE statements are 'proteins often have more than one transmembrane domain'; 'they are regions of a transmembrane protein that actually pass through the lipid bilayer' and 'they are usually shaped like alpha-helices'.

A transmembrane domain is a membrane-spanning region within a protein. The transmembrane domains are hydrophobic regions that can be inserted into the cell membrane.

The transmembrane domains are usually shaped like alpha-helices.

This secondary structure (alpha-helices) causes the amino acid R-groups to project radially, thereby these side chains can interact with each other.

Proteins need only a single transmembrane domain to be anchored to the membrane, but they often have more than one.

For example, Acyl-coenzyme A cholesterol acyltransferases 1 and 2 (ACAT1 and ACAT2)  have multiple transmembrane domains.

The transmembrane domains are regions of a transmembrane protein that actually pass through the lipid bilayer.

These domains contain amino acids with hydrophobic R-groups that pass through the membrane and interact with the hydrophobic tails of the fatty acid chains present in the lipid bilayer.

The transmembrane domains anchor transmembrane proteins to the lipid bilayer.

The interactions between amino acids of the transmembrane domains and fatty acids in the lipid bilayer help to anchor transmembrane proteins and stabilize the cell membrane.

Hemophilia is a condition in which blood does not clot naturally, and a person with hemophilia could bleed to death if injured.
barxatty [35]

As we know our blood has four main components which are plasma, red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets. That is why a hemophiliac must receive regular injections of platelets to stay alive. This is done by injecting into their bloodstream human plasma which contains many proteins, glucose, clotting factors, electrolytes, hormones, and carbon dioxide.
