Mafic materials are usually dark in color and have relatively high specific gravities grater than 3.0 Felsic materials are usual at lighter in color and have specific gravities less than 3.0

Answer:

The mafic minerals are silicates or rocks rich in magnesium and iron, they are dark in color. On the other hand, the felic minerals are rocks and magmas rich in light elements such as silicon, oxygen, aluminum, sodium and potassium, they are normally light in color.

This is not Biology, it's math. You have too do what you did on the other problems which is convert them all too decimals using a calculator. Make sure too write them down and them just find which number is more or less.

Is energy lost by catabolism or anabolism?

Darina [25.2K]

Explanation:

Anabolism requires energy to grow and build. Catabolism uses energy to break down. These metabolic processes work together in all living organisms to do things like produce energy and repair cells.

Catabolic reactions release energy, while anabolic reactions use up energy.

solmaris [256]

Similar: They are made by proteins and glycoproteins like all the cells are. The also have DNA or RNA to reproduce and they also evolve to adapt.

Difference: They don't use the cell division phase and they are not alive.

Drag the correct word from the left into the sentence on the right to complete each sentence. In anabolic reactions that involve

kkurt [141]

Answer:

The correct matches are:

In anabolic reactions that involve the synthesis of a large molecule from smaller precursor molecules, NADH and ATP are consumed when they provide the needed electrons or energy.
In catabolic reactions that involve the breakdown of a molecule into smaller subunits, such as glucose to pyruvate, NADH and ATP are produced.
In the reaction Pyruvate +NADH-Lactate +NAD, pyruvate is being reduced.
In the reaction Pyruvate NADH-Lactate +NAD, NADH is being oxidized.

Explanation:

Being involved in synthesis, anabolic reactions require energy in the form of energy storing molecules such as NADH and ATP. Anabolic processes utilize energy produced by the catabolism of complex compounds.
Catabolic processes produce energy or energy storing compounds by breaking down complex substances into simpler ones. All steps of cellular respiration are catabolic processes since they generate energy in the form of ATP or energy yielding molecules such as NADH and FADH2.
Anaerobic respiration takes place during intense physical activity due to which adequate oxygen does not reach the cells. Insufficient oxygen shuttles the pyruvate molecules produced by glycolysis into the lactic acid pathway that reduces pyruvate into lactic acid.
Since, NADH is donating its H+, it is being oxidized to NAD+.
