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>

The best way to measure an exact volume is with a(n) _____________.
xxTIMURxx [149]
The answer is E, graduated cylinder.

Meanwhile beaker and test tubes may have markings, but they're not as accurate. Especially in beakers, their wide diameter only makes an approximate volume, as it is very likely to have a reading mistake on that. Their main function is not to measure volumes, thus there marking may already have an mistake.

And in watch glass and evaporating dish, they're both very shallow and wide in diameter too, so they're not for measuring volumes. Plus, not all of them have markings.

And in graduated cylinder, the thin shape makes the reading a lot more accurate and the main purpose for that is to measure volumes. They also come in transparent tubes that can make the reading clear and easy to read.
