3 0

Quartz

Explanation:

Quartz is a framework silicate made up of interlocking SiO₂. It is the most resistant mineral to weathering.

This is based on the Bowen's reaction series of minerals.

From the series;

  • In a given melt, quartz is the last mineral to crystallize out of solution.
  • Olivine is usually the first
  • Quartz being the last does not readily react with other substances.
  • This makes it resistant to agent of weathering.

Which of the following is NOT one of the Nervous System Functions?. Single choice.
Neko [114]

Answer:

4. Absorb extra fluid between the cells

Explanation:

The nervous system (SN) is a complex system that acts to receive sensory information through nerves, transmit this information via the spinal cord and finally process it in the brain. The SN has three main roles: sensory input, processing and motor output. The SN can be divided into the central nervous system (composed of the brain and spinal cord), and the peripheral nervous system (composed of those nerves located outside the brain and spinal cord). Moreover, the extracellular fluid between the cells comprises four types of fluids: 1-intravascular fluid (blood), 2-interstitial fluid, 3--transcellular fluid and 4-cerebrospinal fluid. The excess of these fluids is absorbed by the capillaries of the lymphatic system.

The revolution of earth around the sun and the tilt of earth’s  axis cause the changing of seasons. TRUE

<u>Explanation:</u>

Earth is slightly tilted at its axis. This causes a change in the amount of sunlight reaching each hemisphere. Due to the tilt one hemisphere will be closer to the sun while the other will be at a greater distance.  When the earth revolves around the sun , the hemisphere that is closer to the sun changes.

The hemisphere closer to the sun will experience summer and the hemisphere away from the sun will experience winter.

Complete the sentences to correctly describe steps in fatty acid synthesis. move the terms to the appropriate blanks. some terms
saw5 [17]

The synthesis of fatty acids starts with a preparatory step in which acetyl-CoA is mediated from mitochondria to the cytosol. However, it cannot pass through the membrane, so it is transported as citrate, which is cleaved to acetyl CoA and oxaloacetate.

In the cytosol, acetyl CoA is transformed to malonyl CoA, that is, a three carbon compound. Fatty acid synthesis starts with the conduction of acetyl group from acetyl CoA to fatty acid synthase.

Two carbon groups, supplied to malonyl CoA, are supplemented to the developing acyl chain in a series of steps involving condensation, reduction, and dehydration reactions. Elongation of the fatty acid chain ceases at 16 carbon atoms, after seven cycles, as the free free fatty acid is discharged.
