Well the soil classification is usually done on the basis of particle sizes and composition of soil.

<span>Clay </span>usually consists of particles less than 0.075 mm in size. It is a sticky soil and shows great changes in volume with variation in its water contact. It also shows considerable strength when air dried.

<span>Silt </span>has larger particles than clay and are mainly inorganic in nature. The particle size is less than 0.075mm and exhibits slightly plastic or non plastic behaviour.

Humus is soil consisting of dead and decaying organic matter. It is mainly organic in content but some inorganic particles may be mixed in it. The top soil in a tropical forest may be considered as humus.

What is an autotroph and what is a heterotroph
Usimov [2.4K]

Autographs are organisms that make their own food/energy. The only example I can think of (and the only one I think exists) is plants. They make glucose from the sun and other stuff

Heterotrophs are organisms that needs to get its energy from other sources. You and me are heterotrophs (well unless you are a plant lol). We have to eat food to get energy to survive.

Hope this helped!!!

What are the 2 ways that you can do to enhance the<br> resolvingpower on the microscope?
satela [25.4K]

Answer:

Explanation:

The resolving power of the microscope is dependent upon the objective lens. It can be measured by the ability of the lens to differentiate between the two lines or points on the specimen under observation. The more the resolving power the smaller will be the distance between the two lines or points that can be distinguished.

The following are the two ways that can be used to enhance the resolving power on the microscope:

Using a lens that has a higher aperture.

Decreasing the amount of light being entered into the microscope that means using light of less wavelength.
