In plants and animals, mineral absorption, also called mineral uptake is the way in which minerals enter the cellular material, typically following the same pathway as water. In plants, the entrance portal for mineral uptake is usually through the roots. Some mineral ions diffuse in-between the cells. In contrast to water, some minerals are ...
The AKF diagram is intended for rocks containing excess aluminium and silica. Its components are: A = Al 2 O 3 - (CaO + Na 2 O + K 2 O) K = K 2 O F = FeO + MgO + MnO. This diagram is less useful, because magnesium does not freely substitute for ferrous iron in many metamorphic minerals important in aluminium-rich rock.
Energy flow is a unidirectional and noncyclic pathway, whereas the movement of mineral nutrients is cyclic. Mineral cycles include the carbon cycle, sulfur cycle, nitrogen cycle, water cycle, phosphorus cycle, oxygen cycle, among others that continually recycle along with other mineral nutrients into productive ecological nutrition.
Diagram as published by McKelvey in 1973 [1] Diagram as published by McKelvey in 1976 [2] A McKelvey diagram or McKelvey box is a visual representation used to describe a natural resource such as a mineral or fossil fuel, based on the geologic certainty of its presence and its economic potential for recovery. The diagram is used to estimate the ...

This page is the template for the metabolic pathways template. This template should be used to illustrate the general 'shape' of metabolism within the cell. This template is part of the Metabolic Pathways task force. This template has been largely superseded by {{Metabolic metro}} but is kept as an archive
Figure 1 is an example of a complex petrogenetic grid for metamorphosed pelitic rocks. It shows most of the important reactions that govern the development of aluminous mineral assemblages from the prehnite-pumpellyite facies to the granulite facies , as well as the blueschist facies and eclogite facies at higher pressures and the contact ...
Examples include: rubidium, barium, uranium, and lanthanum. Compatible elements are depleted in the crust and enriched in the mantle, with examples nickel and titanium. Forsterite olivine, a magnesium iron silicate mineral formed in Earth's upper mantle. Compatibility is commonly described by an element's distribution coefficient.
