Why can color alone not be used to identify minerals?

Different minerals often have the same color.  Using color alone to identify a mineral could lead to an inaccurate conclusion. The hardness of the mineral, luster, cleavage, fracture, how it reacts to an acid, and other traits can be used to identify what the mineral is.

Got it from google can´t lie

the endomembrane system is a series of compartments that work together to package, label, and ship proteins and molecules. in your cells, the endomembrane system is made up of both the endoplasmic reticulum and the golgi apparatus. these compartments are folds of membranes that form tubes and sacs in your cells.

4.) metal

"-the movement of carbon from the nonliving environment into living things and back to the environment

-carbon is the essential component of proteins, fats, and carbohydrates (which make up all organisms)

-carbon exists in air, water, and living organisms

-producers convert carbon dioxide in the atmosphere into carbohydrates during photosynthesis

-bacteria in the atmosphere cycles through the system in filtration units

-in cellular respiration, carbon is released back into the atmosphere as carbon dioxide

-some carbon is stored in limestone (forming one of the largest "carbon sinks" on earth)

-largest carbon reservoir on earth= limestone

-carbon stored in the bodies of organisms as fat, oils, or other molecules may be released into the soil or air when the organism dies

-this may form deposits of coal, oil, or natural gas (fossil fuels, which increased the atmospheric carbon dioxide)

-fossil fuels store carbon left over from bodies of organisms that died millions of years ago

-they are located in the surface of earth, deep within the earth and beneath the ocean floor."
