Less plants grow in deserts.

Explanation:

Areas that have more plants have more nutrients. Plants receive and give of nutrients when they die. So areas with little water and plants have little nutrients. Also the sun damages organic matters.

<u>Answer</u>:

<em>Desert soils are poor in organic matter because there are very less plant remains in the soil. </em>

<u>Explanation</u>:

<em>A desert has extreme conditions which support less life.</em> Organic matter in soil called humus is formed by the deposition of dead plants and animals in the soil. <em>Soil contains decomposing microbes which act upon the dead plant and animal remains converting them to organic matter. </em>

In deserts the availability of water is very low which limits the growth of plants there. Animal population is also very less in desert areas.  <em>Above all that the extreme heat of the desert destroys the less amount of organic matter formed. </em>

What are important functions of fiber in the body?
uysha [10]

Answer:

Fiber helps to prevent <em>constipation </em>in the human digestive system.

Explanation:

According to nutritionists fiber is very important in digestion as it increases the amount of stool , hence prompting for deification which generally reduces the amount of time waste stays in the small intestines .

Another reason is that it gets in touch with the schist that has been rejected or is of no value to the system and binds it to make it compact waste hence it is easier to move along the small intestine and the colon .

Finally it facilitates movement and exercise of the bowel , by prompting regular movement .

A single pair of goldfish in an aquarium produced a large number of offspring. These offspring showed variations in body shape a
vagabundo [1.1K]
The most likely explanation for the variation is the offspring were produced from different combination of genes. A single pair of gold fish mentioned in the question means a male and a female gold fish. The two of them mated and contributed different genes to the fertilized fish eggs, this results in production of various body shape and colouration which is known as variation.
