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

IRISSAK [1]3 years ago

<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.

Gemiola [76]
The answer is D. Species A will have fewer phenotypes.
Alleles are alternative forms of a gene. In species A, the leaf color is controlled by two alleles, for example, P and Q. They will have three possible genotypes - PP, PQ, and QQ. Three different genotypes give maximum three phenotypes.In species B, leaf color is controlled by three alleles, for example, L, M, and N. They will have six different genotypes - LL, LM, LN, MM, MN, and NN. Six different genotypes give maximum 6 phenotypes.

An organic molecule will always contain _____.
Slav-nsk [51]
The subject area of Chemistry is a very broad area. So, it is classified into sub-branches like inorganic chemistry, organic chemistry, physical chemistry, quantitative chemistry and many more. But when the basis is on the composition of elements, it is divided into inorganic and organic chemistry. Compounds containing the element Carbon are all under organic chemistry. If they do not contain carbon, they are considered as inorganic.

During the early times, the only differentiation between these two sub branches is the vital theory. This theory proposes that all things that have life can be only made by nature alone are inorganic. But thing was disproved by Wohler when he was able to synthesize urea from inorganic compounds. Thus, today the only differentiation is the carbon atom.

Aminosyn is an amino acid often times used in tpn orders to provide protein for cellular repair and growth. a physician writes a
love history [14]
I think theres a few methods to do it, but this is probably the most efficient.

Physician has prescribed 2.5% of 500ml
Actual amount of Aminosyn in this prescription is
500*0.025= 12.5ml of Aminosin

Therefore you need to ensure when you pour your solution of the 8.5% Aminosyn, it has 12.5 ml of Aminosyn.

To work out how much 8.5% Aminosyn you should pour, you must think of the 12.5ml as 8.5%

Therefore 1% = 12.5/8.5= 1.470588

Therefore the amount of 8.5% solution you need to pour is 100* 1.470588= 147.1ml

Then make up the rest(352.9ml) by adding distilled water. You now have 500ml of 2.5% aminosyn.
