Minerals are identified according to their properties. One of these properties is their breaking tendency: <em>cleavage</em><em> or </em><em>fracture</em>.<em> Cleavage: Calcite, mica, muscovita, pyroxene. Fracture: Quartz, Asbestos, Limestone.</em>

<u><em>Note</em></u><em>: Since I do not know which your 10 minerals are, I will provide examples of each type according to the breaking tendency.</em>

Many properties of minerals are used to identify them, such as <em>color, density, hardness,</em> among others. In this case, we are talking about their <u>breaking tendency.</u>

<h3 /><h3>How do minerals break?</h3><h3 />

Minerals can cleave or fracture.

A type of mineral breaks always in the same, and this is why the breaking tendency is useful to identify them.

<h3 />

<u>- Cleavage</u>

The mineral breaks in flat smooth planes.

Cleavage direction and smoothness of surfaces are significant when identifying.

<u>- Fracture</u>

The mineral break in irregular planes.

In these minerals, there is no particular breaking direction.

<h2 /><h3>Examples</h3>

<u>- Cleavage</u>

Calcite

Mica

Muscovite

Pyroxene

Halite

Feldspar

Gypsum

<u>- Fracture</u>

Quartz

Asbestos

Limestone

Beryl

Chromite

Agate

Copper

Explain how a concentration gradient, a membrane protein, and hydrogen ions work together to provide a mitochondrion with the en

gladu [14]

During the electron transport, chan energy stored in electrons is used to pump hydrogen protons from the mitochondrial matrix to the intermembrane space. The numbers of protons increase this creates a chemical gradient(because there is a higher concentration of ions) and an electrical gradient(because the intermembrane space becomes more positive than the matrix because of the protons-H⁺). Those protons need to flow towards the matrix for equilibrium to occur. As we know the inside membrane of the mitochondria has a reduced permeability. The main place where protons can diffuse is the ATP-synthase(a protein that turns ADP and inorganic phosphate into ATP). When protons pass through they release the energy necessary for this reaction to occur(ADP+H₃PO₄-->ATP+H₂O)

Answer:

B. Halved.

Explanation:

Frequency and wavelength have an inverse relationship in such a way that When a wavelength is increased, frequency and the energy in this scenario tends to decrease and the converse is true.

What would most likely happen to plants if they did not have a waxy outer coating

frozen [14]

If the plants do not have the outer layer coating then they would have to have stomata on the top of their leaves. Too much stomata would make the plant loose a lot of water since the stomata would always have to be open
