vampirchik [111]

Answer:

A rock is a collection of minerals. In a cooling lava, mineral crystals do not have time to form and are very small. The chemical composition will be the same as if the magma cooled slowly. Existing rocks may be heated enough so that the molecules are released from their structure and can move around.

What is a ecosystem? write 2 to 5 sentences to explain it​
Nonamiya [84]

Ecosystem is that it is a community or group of living organisms that live in and interact with each other in a specific environment.

For instance, tropical forests are ecosystems made up of living beings such as trees, plants, animals, insects and micro-organisms that are in constant interaction between themselves and that are affected by other physical (sun, temperature) or chemical (oxygen or nutrients) components.


An ecosystem consists of a community of organisms together with their physical environment.
Ecosystems can be of different sizes and can be marine, aquatic, or terrestrial. Broad categories of terrestrial ecosystems are called biomes.
In ecosystems, both matter and energy are conserved. Energy flows through the system—usually from light to heat—while matter is recycled.
Ecosystems with higher biodiversity tend to be more stable with greater resistance and resilience in the face of disturbances, or disruptive events.

All proteins are synthesized by ribosomes in the cell. some ribosomes float freely in the cytosol, while others are bound to the
Dennis_Churaev [7]
Ost proteins that function in the cytosol (such as actin) or in the nucleus (such as DNA polymerase) are synthesized by free ribosomes. Proteins that function within the endomembrane system (such as lysosomal enzymes) or those that are destined for secretion from the cell (such as insulin) are synthesized by bound ribosomes.
<span>As a protein destined for the endomembrane system is being synthesized by a ribosome, the first amino acids in the growing polypeptide chain act as a signal sequence. That signal sequence ensures that the ribosome binds to the outer membrane of the ER and that the protein enters the ER lumen.</span>
