<span>Cocaine Preparations
-Coca leaves --> Coca Paste (60% pure): Not water soluble, so you can't inject it into the bloodstream -- you need an additional chemical step to turn the paste into crystal powder that can be injected or snorted
-Coca --> Cocaine Hydrochloride (99% pure): Doesn't hold up very well to heat, so you can't smoke cocaine hydrochloride
-Cocaine Hydrochloride (99% pure) --> Free-Base Cocaine or Crack Cocaine:
-Reconvert cocaine hydrochloride back to base state by removing hydrochloride from cocaine (that's why it's called free-base cocaine)
-Crack cocaine is a crystallized form, mixture of cocaine and baking soda
-75% pure
-Can be used at lower doses and is much cheaper than cocaine
-Can be smoked</span>
Answer:
A. Prions do not contain genetic information, which is affected by ionizing radiation.
B. Denaturants may affect the tertiary structure of prions.
C. Prions are proteins.
Explanation:
Prions are the proteinaceous infectious particles that cause many degenerative diseases of neurons in both animals and humans. They consist of only protein and no DNA or RNA. Due to the absence of DNA or RNA as genetic material, these infectious particles are resistant to ionizing radiation. Ionizing radiations affect nucleic acids of pathogens to destroy them.
Denaturation of proteins affects their secondary and tertiary structures and leave them non-functional. Denaturation may be caused by changes in temperature, pH, disturbance of hydrogen bonds, etc. Therefore, to destroy prions, they need to be denatured.
Answer:
Hotspots from under the ground
Explanation:
There are three different situations where an volcano can form. A divergent boundary, where two tectonic plates move away from each other, subduction boundary, where one of the tectonic plates moves under the other, and a hotspot. Scientists are not completely sure how hotspots form.
The best way to identify a mineral is the color of the mineral. The color of the minerals with different impurities is different. The pink color of the rose quartz and the gray color of the smoky quartz indicates that they contain different impurities. The impurities are the main factor behind the color of any mineral.
Hence, the correct answer is 'Color is the best way to identify a mineral'.
