Answer:

texture

Explanation:

Elements have been classified into three categories namely; metals, non-metals and metalloids. This classification was done based on certain characteristics or properties possessed by each element. Some of the characteristics used are: lustre, malleability, conductivity, melting point, boiling point etc.

- Metals are very good conductors of heat and electricity whereas metalloids and nonmetals are not.

- Metals and metalloids shine when polished i.e. they are lustrous, whereas nonmetals don't

- Metals are malleable i.e. can be beaten into sheets.

Texture is not a property used to classify metals and metalloids.

What is the importance of the light-independent reactions in terms of carbon flow in the biosphere?
kvasek [131]

Answer:

Synthesis of carbon compounds

Explanation:

Light-independent reactions are a set of chemical reactions that occur in plant chloroplasts during photosynthesis. The product of these chemical reactions is glucose, a carbon compound essential for living things.

Photosynthesis is part of the carbon cycle, and therefore is involved in the flow o this element in the biosphere.  

During the day, plants use the Sun's energy to convert CO2 from the atmosphere into carbohydrates (photosynthesis). During the night, they use the carbohydrates  they produced to produce energy and release CO2 back into the atmosphere (respiration).
