Process by which the internal structure of a mineral is altered by the addition or removal of elements. Change in phase (mineral type) and composition are due to the action of chemical agents. Chemical weathering is dependent on available surface for reaction temperature and presence of chemically active fluids.
Orientation of bonds between glucose monomers.
Processes that are most important to human life are oxygen, required for cellular respiration, and glucose, a form of sugar that releases energy during cellular respiration.
