Answer:

Potassium feldspar, Amphibole and Quartz

Explanation:

Silicate minerals are the important rock-forming minerals as they are highly abundant in the earth's crust. They are also found in large quantities in the mantle. It is comprised of both silicon and oxygen, where the four oxygen atoms are linked to a Silicon atom at the center, forming a covalent bond. The rocks formed from this mineral are very hard and resistant.

The minerals such as potassium feldspar, amphibole, and quartz are comprised of a large amount of silicate minerals.

It is mostly likely the cell membrane.

The cell membrane is a structure of a cell composed of double layer of lipids and proteins. It surrounds a cell and separates the cytoplasm from its surrounding environment. The cell membrane is selectively permeable (semi-permeable), which means that it only lets certain molecules enter and exit. It can also control the amount of some substances that go into or out of the cell.

Which enzymes are secreted only by the pancreas?
a_sh-v [17]

Nucleases are the enzymes that are unique to the pancreas. These are enzymes which break down nucleic acids DNA and RNA into nucleotides. When these nucleotides reach the ileum, they are further degraded or digested into sugars, bases and phosphates. These nucleases are known as DNAase and RNAase

Other pancreatic enzymes such as amylase and protease are also produced by other digestive organs such as the salivary glands and the small intestine respectively. However no other digestive organ has been known to produce nucleases apart from the pancreas.

Nucleases are of two  main types, namely exonucleases which cut off the end of a nucleotide and endonucleases which will cut out certain nucleotide sequences right in the middle of a nucleic acid.
