Which choice forms the organic portion of soil?

Biology
2 answers:

Answer: The dead plants form the organic part of the soil.  This is because when plants die off they become dirt and mulch which is good for the plants. This is why people make a big deal out of compost. It is because it is healthy and organic for plants.

<u>Answer</u>:

<em>Dead plants form the organic portion of the soil. </em>

<u>Explanation</u>:

<em>Plant bodies and animal bodies are rich in carbon compounds and when they die their body remains will contain these compounds.</em> Soil contains various microbes that act on the dead remains and break down the organic compounds within the remains.

The decomposition process releases <em>carbon, nitrogen, phosphorous etc that make up the organic compounds. </em>

Decomposition of plant bodies is termed as composting. Composting releases carbon in greater amounts into the soil. The <em>inorganic substances released after decomposition can be used by plants and other autotrophs for nutrition. </em>

Researchers hypothesized that cocaine is pharmacologically active in primate fetal brain when pregnant primates are administered
pav-90 [236]

Answer:

Option A, Glucose metabolism in the fetal brain increased

Explanation:

Usage of cocaine during pregnancy is prohibited. However, in case if cocaine is taken it disrupts the metabolism as it increases brain glucose metabolism to the level of an adult human being. Since glucose metabolism in brain is a sensitive process, any disruption in it can lead to unaccounted effects such as dysfunctional circulation, and pharmacological effect. Cocaine increases the dopamine by blocking the dopamine transporters thereby increasing the Vmax. Since the brain of a child has all kind of neurochemical components, cocaine intakes by a pregnant woman produces reinforcing effects in brain of fetus and also make it pharmacologically active

Hence, option A  is correct

What term is used to describe the relationship of the DNA strands to each other?
xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

The correct answer will be option-B.

Explanation:

Deoxyribose nucleic acid or DNA is the genetic material of the organism which is made up of nucleotide monomer. The structure of DNA is made up of two strands of nucleotides coiled in a helical structure thus providing a double-helical shape to the structure.  

Each nucleotide of a strand is composed of a five-carbon sugar, phosphate group and nitrogenous bases. These molecules are arranged in anti-parallel fashion in DNA which provides the polarity to the DNA strand. One strand is read from the 5' to 3' direction whereas another form 3'to 5' direction.

Thus, Option-B is the correct answer.

A force has direction and contact true or false
Assoli18 [71]

Answer:

Because a force is a vector that has a direction, it is common to represent forces using diagrams in which a force is represented by an arrow. In physics, a force is any interaction that, when unopposed, will change the motion of an object. A force can cause an object with mass to change its velocity (which includes to begin moving from a state of rest), i.e., to accelerate. ... A force has both magnitude and direction, making it a vector quantity.

Therefore, yes

One reason native plants are declining is that the invasive plants absorb nitrogen from the soil about twice as fast (α = 2). Ho
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

α = 0 if β= 0

Explanation:

If both species want to persist in the same environment and their niches are also over lapping then both of the co-efficient values should be equal. There are two possibilities on these values for persistence. One is that one should compromise to the change produced by the invasive specie and two is that the new specie should compromise if he wants to stay (<em><u>Assuming that there is no competition</u></em>). In this way their niches won't overlap to a greater extent and therefore better chances of survival for both.

Drag each tile to the correct location on the chart. What are the pros and cons of sexual and asexual reproduction?
levacccp [35]

Answer:

Sexual reproduction:

Pros: leads to greater genetic variation.

Cons: requires more time and energy.

Asexual reproduction:

Pros: Does not require finding a mate.

Cons: Produce less genetic variation.

Explanation:

Sexual reproduction is a type of reproduction in higher organisms, in which new individuals are formed by combining genetic information from two different types (sexes) of individuals.

Advantage: Sexual reproduction leads to higher genetic variation due to recombination between genetic material of female and male gamete during meiosis.

Disadvantage: Sexual reproduction is a time and energy consuming process as it needs interaction between mates and organisms which are produced sexually require more time for development.

Asexual reproduction involves formation of new organisms from a single parent organism without gamete fusion.

Advantage: Asexual reproduction requires less time and energy as it does not require finding a mate.

Disadvantage: Asexual reproduction produces less genetic variations as it involves only parent organisms (no mixing of genetic information) and the only source of variations are random mutations.
