| 1. | In addition, contact with eyes may form silicic acid with resultant irritation.
|
| 2. | Rocks high in silica produce silicic acid as a weathering product.
|
| 3. | Choanoflagellate biosilicification requires the concentration of silicic acid within the cell.
|
| 4. | The silicic acid, when weathered, forms black streaks, which give the rock its characteristic appearance.
|
| 5. | It is thought that fossils were pervaded with silicic acid due to this volcanic activity.
|
| 6. | The biogenic silica composing the cell wall is synthesised intracellularly by the polymerisation of silicic acid monomers.
|
| 7. | Diatoms need, among other nutrients, silicic acid to create biogenic silica for their frustules ( cell walls ).
|
| 8. | The researchers found that the mirrors slowly broke down into harmless silicic acid in simulated human blood plasma.
|
| 9. | Their distinguishing feature is a hard mineral shell or frustule composed of opal ( hydrated, polymerized silicic acid ).
|
| 10. | Another positive attribute of porous silicon is the degradation of porous silicon into monomeric silicic acid ( SiOH4 ).
