What combines with particles of weathered bedrock to make the fertile soil of the Midwest
Novay_Z [31]

The correct answer is - biomass from the decomposing grasses.

The Midwest is a region known for its highly fertile soil. The reason for this is that the weathered bedrock combines with huge amounts of biomass. The biomass is almost entirely form the grasses. The grasses grow naturally in this region and they dominate the landscape. They grow and die out relatively quickly, as most of those grasses are one season grasses. They manage to create very large amounts of biomass every year, and also they decompose very quickly. The grasses also are high in nutrients, so once decomposed, they give the soil a lot of nutrients as well, which makes it very fertile and suitable for agriculture.

The correct answer is B. Cells divide, producing more cells.

Explanation

The cell is the basic unit of life for all living things. Likewise, it is a form of classification for them since living organisms can be classified according to the number of cells they have unicellular (a single cell), multicellular (more than one cell). In organisms that have more than one cell, they divide to produce more cells and form the organs and tissues themselves. Cell division can occur from two processes that are mitosis and meiosis in which two and four cells are produced respectively. According to the above, the correct answer is B. Cells divide and producing more cells.
