This bacteria was first discovered in the late 1800âs. Since then, it has had a long history of use in scientific research. It is the most widely used organism in molecular genetics. Part of the reason E. coli is commonly used in scientific research is that it is easy to grow in a lab. The factors that make E. coli easy to grow are its simple nutritional needs, fast growth rate and its moderate maintenance requirements.
What kind of igneous rock texture results from slow cooling magma? A coarse grained texture, referred to as a phaneritic texture, will be the resultant igneous rock texture. The slower the magma cools the more time minerals have to crystall â¦ ize and thus grow bigger.
Igneous Rocks. There are places on Earth that are so hot that rocks melt to form magma. Because magma is liquid and usually less dense than surrounding solid rock, it moves upward to cooler regions of the Earth. As the magma loses heat, it cools and crystallizes into an igneous rock. Magma can cool on the Earth's surface, where it has erupted from a volcano (extrusive rock) or under the Earth's surface, where it has intruded older rocks (intrusive rock). The composition of magma is limited to the eight common elements of the earth's crust.
