Answer:

  • occur naturally
  • different minerals have different chemical composition
  • they have an specific internal structure

Explanation:

Minerals are substances found in nature, formed by a balanced chemical composition, resulting from millions of years of inorganic processes (heat action, pressure, etc.). All minerals are solid, such as feldspar, mica, quartz. Water, despite having a mineral source, is not an ore, as is mercury (which is liquid at room temperature). In other words, a mineral is any homogeneous substance, solid or liquid, of inorganic origin that arises naturally in the earth's crust. Usually with defined chemical composition and, if formed under favorable conditions, will have ordered atomic structure conditioning its crystalline form and its physical properties.

We can summarize the characteristics of minerals in:

  • occur naturally
  • different minerals have different chemical composition
  • they have an specific internal structure

Which of the following characteristics, structures, or processes is common to both bacteria and viruses? A. Metabolism B. Riboso
Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

C. Genetic material composed of nucleic acid

Explanation:

The information needed by every organism to perform life functions like reproduction, growth etc are held in the genetic material that the organism carries in its genome. Every genetic material of organisms is composed of nucleic acids, which are only two in nature i.e. Ribonucleic acid (RNA) and Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). This is a common feature of all organisms including bacteria and viruses that they contain genetic material which must be in form of a nucleic acid.

The viruses do not undergo a cell division, neither do they contain protein synthesis structures called Ribosomes because they do not have the ability to reproduce or perform any living process outside a living host cell. This means that they strictly depend on another organism's transcriptional, translational, replicational ability to survive.

What do monosaccharides provide for cells?
Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

They are building blocks for larger polysaccharide which are important in structural rigidity of cells.

Polysaccharides such as Starch and Cellulose which are instrumental in cell structure and rigidity are formed from chains of monosaccharides.

They are also useful in the provision of energy which is used in cell functions (metabolism).

Monosaccharides such as Glucose, Sucrose are useful in provision of energy for physical and metabolic activities of the body.

If a postsynaptic neuron is stimulated to threshold by spatial summation this implies that ________. If a postsynaptic neuron is
Maslowich

Answer:

The postsynaptic cell has many synapses with many presynaptic neurons

Explanation:

Spatial summation is a process of producing an action potential in a neuron with input from multiple presynaptic nerve cells. This process determines whether an action potential will be triggered upon reaching threshold from multiple synapses with presynaptic neurons. Summation of all inputs determines if an action potential will b generated.
