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>

In recent years, there has been controversy among biologists about whether Neanderthals should be placed within the same species
Natali [406]

Answer:

The correct answer would be - biological species concept.

Explanation:

The biological species concept is a concept of speciation or how a species forms in nature. According to this, a species is the group of the population that can naturally or potentially interbreed with each other, not on the basis of their physical similarities or habitats.

The physical appearance could be useful as recognizing a species but not defining it. As neanderthals show very little or no gene flow with a modern human it means they do not belong to the same species as modern homo sapiens.

Thus, the correct answer is- biological species concept.
