Answer:

A rock is a naturally formed, non-living Earth material. Rocks are made of minerals. ... A rock may be made of only one type of mineral. More often rocks are made of a mixture of different minerals.

Metamorphic rocks (changed rocks) are made when existing rocks are subjected to high temperatures and high pressures for long periods of time. Metamorphism (meta = change, morph = form) happens when molten rock intrudes other rocks and bakes the contact zone where the molten rock touches the preexisting rock. Metamorphism also happens when rocks are buried deeply during the process of mountain building. The kind of metamorphic rock made depends on the kind of original rock; for example, sandstone is turned to quartzite, shale is turned to slate, and limestone is turned to marble.

Weathering describes the breaking down or dissolving of rocks and minerals on the surface of the Earth. Water, ice, acids, salts, plants, animals, and changes in temperature are all agents of weathering.

What is meant by transpiration is a necessaru evil?
3241004551 [841]
In plants, transpiration is a process which is inevitable but potentially harmful, because it can cause loss of water. Loss of water can lead to wilting and eventual death of the plant. Even a little stress can interfere with the plant's growth process. 

But, at the same time, transpiration is necessary because of a number of reasons - the transpiration stream aids the processes of mineral absorption, water absorption, energy exchange, helps provide the plant with optimum turgidity, it helps the exchange of gases and so on.

Elina [12.6K]

During glycolysis glucose, a 6 carbon sugar is converted into two molecules of pyruvate, a three carbon sugar. During this conversion 4 ATP molecules are produced. Two oxidise glucose to pyruvate, 2 ATP molecules are also required or used up. Thus, a net gain of 2 ATP molecules at the completion of glycolysis.
