Answer: a. alkaline b. sulphur

Explanation:

A pH is an indicator of acidity and alkalinity nature of a solution. The acidic solutions have low pH value and the basic solutions have high pH value. Some solutions are neither acidic nor basic they are called as neutral (pH = 7). Below the value of 7 the solution is considered to be acidic and above 7 considered to be basic.

According to the given situation, the pH value of 7.6 indicates that the soil is alkaline in nature. Adding sulfur to the soil will lower the pH of the soil. The soil bacteria in the soil will convert the sulfur into sulfuric acid. The accumulation of sulfuric acid in the soil will lower the pH of the soil. As, the plants growing in the alkaline soil are subjected to yellowing of the leaves and chlorosis.

Use this:

pH = 7 => neutral

pH > 7 => basic (alkaline)

pH < 7 => acidic

So, a pH of 7.6 means the soil is alkaline.

Now, to reduce the impact you should lower the pH.

Sulfur forms acid (H2S or H2SO4) which will lower the pH.

So, adding sulfur will result in the (at least partial) neutralization of the pH and so reduce the impact on plant growth.

Answers: 1) alkaline, 2) sulfur.

One way that cells use water

<span>For instance, during the concentration of salt in water affects the rate of osmosis because it will determine how much water should be transported or excreted or to be taken in. The cellular process is keen to the salt concentration of its system thus making sure to maintain balance between the salt concentration the right amount of water must also be in its area of release for any expected occurences. </span>
<span>Osmosis then is the movement of water particles from which has water and from which has not and to provide it with the sufficient H2O.<span>
