Answer:

Option B, granitic and basaltic minerals

Explanation:

One of the most common rock form is granite that is found in abundance in earth crust. The common minerals in granite that are found in earth’s crust are – quartz, mica, hornblende and fledspar. Basalt is a volcanic rock that forms after the cooling of lava. After weathering, the basalt is broken down into small fine pieces known as soil. Soil is the top most layer of earth crust and hence The Earth's crust is principally composed of both granite and basalt minerals.

Option B is correct.

Rank these reactions from least to most energetically favorable.
mafiozo [28]

Answer:

From least to most energetically favorable, the reactions are:

Glucose to Glucose-6-P (least) ; Glucose-6-P to Fructose-6-P; ATP to ADP and Pi; PEP to pyruvate (most favorable)

Explanation:

ΔG represents the free energy change that occurs during a chemical reaction. A reaction with negative free energy change is exergonic and spontaneous. Negative free energy change represents the fact that reactants have more free energy than products. The excess of the energy is released during the reaction and makes it a spontaneous process.

q`On the other hand, a reaction with positive free energy change is endothermic and non-spontaneous. These thermodynamically unfavorable reactions are coupled with other exergonic reactions to make them occur.

Among the given example, PEP to pyruvate has the highest negative free energy change (−14.8 kcal/mol) and therefore, is energetically most favorable. On the other hand, "Glucose to Glucose-6-P" has the highest positive free energy charge (+3.3 kcal/mol) making it energetically the most unfavorable reaction.

Can you explain how more life forms were able to be created because of cyanobacteria
patriot [66]

Cyanobacteria play an important role in the biosphere by converting atmospheric nitrogen into mineral nitrogen directly assimilated by other organisms. This capacity is of fundamental importance in coral reefs where nutrients are scarce.

Moreover, Cyanobacteria are the micro-organisms of choice for humans in various branches of biotechnology because of the many families of molecules that they produce and which have an interest in valorization.
