Answer:

Yes, it could have been monazite.

Monazite could have become part of sedimentary rock because it is formed during the metamorphosim of clastic sedimentary rocks. It is a resistant minerals that is found in weathered rocks debris which become concentrated and they are part of the soils and sediments found near weathered rocks.

Explanation:

Monazites are phosphate minerals that are found im small grains as accessory in igneous rocks and sedimentary rocks. It is formed during the crystallization of igneous rock and metamorphosim of clastic sedimentary rocks.

Animals lose heat through the surface areas of their skin. A small animal, such as a mouse, uses a much larger proportion of its
Goryan [66]

Answer:

Because of the difference in surface area to volume ratio

Explanation:

Surface are to volume ratio is the area of an object that is exposed to the external environment (surface area), compared to the amount within an object (volume).

Therefore an elephant has a lower surface area to volume ratio than a mouse.

The smaller an object is the greater its surface area to volume ratio.

Small animals have much more surface area per mass than large animals. With so much surface area, they lose heat very quickly. So, a mouse, with a lot of surface area per mass, must spend a lot more energy to stay warm than a large animal.

<h3>What is the effect of calcium concentration on muscle contraction?</h3>

The concentration of calcium ions in the muscle cells help in contraction and relaxation of muscles fibers.

Release of calcium ions initiate muscle contraction.

Therefore, there will be no contraction of muscle if calcium ions are not transported out from the sarcoplasm.
