Answer:
Surfactant is a liquid produced by the alveoli in the lungs to keep the lungs from collapsing.
Explanation:
Surfactant is a fluid composed of lipids and proteins produced in the lungs that keeps the airways open and prevent the lung from collapsing. It is secreted by the alveolar epithelial type-II (AT-II) cells of the tiny air sacs found in the lungs called alveoli. It prevents the collapse of alveoli under the surface tension by reducing the surface tension at the interface between air and the aqueous fluid lining the alveolar surfaces. If enough surfactant is not present, the surface tension causes the tissue surrounding the alveoli to stick together after each exhalation and results in the collapse of alveoli.
Usually, in unborn babies, the production of surfactant starts at about 6 months of pregnancy and the surfactant helps the babies to breathe in the air immediately after delivery. But a premature baby can not produce enough surfactant and it results in the collapse of alveoli with each breath. The damaged alveolar cells collected in the airways affect breathing and the baby takes in less oxygen. This disorder is known as respiratory distress syndrome (RDS).
The level of carbon dioxide in the blood increases and results in acidosis which affects other organs in the body. Since the premature babies having RDS need extra oxygen and help with breathing, the treatment methods include providing extra oxygen through CPAP, placing a breathing tube into your baby's trachea, providing artificial surfactant and ventilator support.
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.
The spindle fibres of a chromosome failed to separate a chromosome to sister chromatids during anaphase of mitosis resulting in an additional sister chromatid being pulled into a Daughter cell, hence having 39 chromosomes; and the other Daughter cell having one less chromosome.

A Herbivore: Eats only plants
A Carnivore: Eats only meat
An Omnivore: Eats both
Knowing this:
Buffalo - Herbivore (eat only plants)
Bear- Omnivore (eats meat and plants, like fish and berries)
Spider - Carnivore (most spider species eat other insects)
Cow- Herbivore (mainly eats plants)
