Answer:

Hardness of a mineral is defined as the resistance to breaking, and density is defined as the mass of a substance per unit volume.

The density and hardness of a mineral, that is formed from through metamorphism are relatively much harder because the metamorphic minerals are formed under extremely high temperature and pressure conditions. These are high-grade minerals.

On the other hand, the density and hardness of a mineral formed through evaporation are much weaker in nature, because these minerals are formed when the water is eliminated due to the high rate of evaporation.

So, it can be concluded that the density and hardness of as mineral formed through the metamorphic process is highly stronger and harder than those that are formed through evaporation.

The _____ law of thermodynamics states that not all energy is used because _____.
Andreyy89
The second law of thermodynamics states that not all of the energy is used because some of the energy is lost in the form of heat. The lost heat energy is an unusable form of energy, and it causes an increase in the entropy of the universe. Thus, no energy transfer process is efficient due to the loss of energy.

Controlling the rates of transcription and translation is important in bacteria to avoid collisions between ribosomes and rna po
7nadin3 [17]

The right answer is 20 aminoacids per second.

Transcription is a mechanism for synthesizing RNA from DNA.

Translation is a mechanism for synthesizing a polypeptide sequence from mRNA by converting the nucleotide triplet (codons) to amino acids.

So if one amino acid corresponds to three nucleotides. The polypeptide synthesis rate should be 20 amino acids per second for 60 nucleotides per second.

3 nucleotides ==> 1 amino acid

60 nucleotides ==> 60/3 = 20 amino acids.

Way an egg is so much larger then a sperm cell, need help.
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

The egg contains both food and mitochondria in addition to its vital DNA, thats why it is much larger. The sperm cell has to be much smaller than the egg cell, because it is the one that swims. If a sperm cell were as big as an egg, it would not be able to move very fast nor very far.
