One special property of mica that would you tell it apart from any other mineral is that it a) bubbles in acid. b) breaks into thin sheets. c) is the only gray mineral. d) can scratch all other minerals.

The answer is; B

Mica easily split into two dimensional thin films along with its cleavage composed on phyllosilicate (the basic unit being two polymerized sheets of silica (SiO4) tetrahedrons). the sheets are cross-linked with cation hence its dielectric properties.

this protocol provides a detailed procedure for co-immunoprecipitation (co-ip) to identify protein–protein interactions.

desert perennials often survive by remaining dormant during dry periods of the year, then springing to life when water becomes available. most annual desert plants germinate only after heavy seasonal rain, then complete their reproductive cycle very quickly.
