Answer:

To test the hardness of a specimen take it and try to scratch it with the first rock in your hardness kit, Talc. If it is scratched then the rock you're testing is hardness 1. If not then try to scratch the Talc with your rock. If the rock scratches the Talc then it is harder than the Talc.

Dmitry [639]

Answer:

Alcohol and carbon dioxide

Explanation:

Fermentation is a process carried out mostly by two organisms namely: bacteria and yeast. The bacteria converts sugar molecules to lactic acid, hence, it is called LACTIC ACID FERMENTATION. However, on the other hand, the YEAST converts sugar molecules to ALCOHOL (ETHANOL) and CO2.

Yeast is an organism capable of undergoing both aerobic and anaerobic (fermentation) respiration depending on the availability of oxygen. This fermentation process enables it produce fermented foods e.g beer, yoghurt by producing ALCOHOL as a product.
