How can you distinguish a clastic rock from that of a bioclastic rock

Biology

IRISSAK [1]3 years ago
5 0

<u>Bioclastic</u> rocks are actually sub-parts of <u>clastic</u> rocks, not a completely different thing altogether.

<u>Clastic</u> rocks are made up of loosened bits of pre-existing rocks. These rocks are formed from weathering, breaking those larger rocks down into little particles (for example, a grain of sand) due to external weather factors such as wind or rain. Some examples of these rocks would be sandstone, conglomerate, and silistone. They are classified by the size and shape of the fragments they are made up of.

<u>Bioclastic</u> rocks are also made up of loosened bits, however, they are not made of rock. They are made of fossils and biogenic (made by living organisms) particles (for example, pieces of shells and coral). These rocks are formed from small parts of pre-existing organisms compacting together to form a rock. Examples of this type of rock would be coquina and limestone, or more specifically, bioclastic limestone. Bioclastic rocks have a very crystalline texture and it is highly likely that you will see a shell in this rock type.

A is Adenin

G is Guanine

C is Citosin

T is Thymine

Explanation:

Adenine

Adenine is an organic molecule found in DNA, ribonucleic acid (known as RNA) and adenosine triphosphate, better known as ATP.

Guanine

Guanine is a purine base found in DNA and RNA that binds exclusively with cytosine to form ribonucleosides called guanosine or deoxyribose to form deoxyguanosine.

Thymine

Thymine is a pyrimidine base found in DNA that binds to adenine.

Cytosine

Cytosine is a pyramid-shaped nitrogenous base that binds to guanine in RNA and DNA as nucleotides and functions as part of the genetic code.

What practice should an obese individual on a diet carry out
erastova [34]

Some foods and eating patterns may make it easier to keep obesity in check.  Healthy food choices and diet patterns that help prevent heart disease, diabetes, and other chronic conditions may also help to prevent weight gain.  

Eat whole foods-whole grains, vegetables, fruits, nuts, healthful sources of protein (fish, poultry, beans), and plant oils. Processed food should be minimal. Limit sugared beverages, refined grains, potatoes, red and processed meats, and other highly processed foods, such as fast food.
