Oksanka [162]1 year ago

A complicated and intriguing substance, soil is. The majority of it is composed primarily of compost, or other items that have decomposed. The earth absorbs the leaves that fall from the trees (etc.). Along with this, there are numerous types of clays (basically powdered rock), sands (basically crumbled rock), as well as other minerals and organics, byproducts of worm, fungus, and bacterium metabolism, and so on.

We lose much too much soil due to erosion and deforestation, which is a great shame (which leads to more erosion).

The different nutrients that plants "feed" from it include nitrogen, which certain plants require from the soil while others may obtain from the air. They do this by soaking up water and the dissolved minerals through their roots and into their systems.

The majority of what makes a plant a plant, just like the majority of what makes a tree a tree, comes from the air.

Plants absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and waste oxygen in the process. Their cell walls are made of carbon from the carbon dioxide.

For instance, cellulose is (C6 H10 O5)n, much like the wood in your door, table, apartment, etc. The carbon dioxide that the plant "breathes" provides the six carbon atoms in the molecule.

In connection with this, trees physically "suck" carbon dioxide out of the air, which is why they help us slow down climate change. And for this reason, burning fossil fuels worsens climate change by reintroducing gases like carbon dioxide and others into the atmosphere.

Thanks,
Eddie

Which answer helps to explain why all living cells need ph buffers?
defon

Answer;

Amino acid side chains have many carboxyl and amino groups.

Explanation;

-A buffer solution is a solution that resists changes in pH when small quantities of an acid or an alkali are added to it. It is a chemical substance that helps maintain a relatively constant pH in a solution, even in the face of addition of acids or bases.

-Buffering is important in living systems as a means of maintaining a fairly constant internal environment, also known as homeostasis.Small molecules such as bicarbonate and phosphate provide buffering capacity as do other substances, such as hemoglobin and other proteins.

- Protein buffer systems depend upon proteins, as opposed to nonprotein molecules, to act as buffers and consume small amounts of acid or base. Since amino acids have the capability of reacting with both acid and base, they naturally act as buffers.
