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.

Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

C (Chlorophyll)

Explanation:

Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is an energy carrying molecule in all living cells. It is the usable form of energy by cells. Organisms are able to carry out cellular functions using the energy carried by ATP molecules. ATP like other molecules is made up of components that make up its chemical structure.

ATP is composed of three structural components; A five-carbon sugar called RIBOSE at the core of its structure, attached to a nitrogenous base called Adenine and phosphate group (three in ATP). The energy in ATP is released when it loses its phosphate component.

Chlorophyll is a pigment found in the Chloroplast of plant cells. It is another molecule that is made up of its own components e.g nitrogen, magnesium etc.
