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>

timurjin [86]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

Supersatured solutions can be created by heating the liquid to it's boling temperature. When the solvent gets hot, the molecules have more space to move around, and there is more space for solute molecules between them. You can keep stirring in any solute, and it will continue to dissolve, even though the saturation point has been reached.

What is the probability of producing a white rose when a red rose is crossed with a pink rose?
sammy [17]
A white rose cannot be produced in the G1 (first generation) of roses because the red rose will have a RR (R standing for red) allele combination. The pink rose will have a RW (R for red, W for white) <span>allele combination. When crossed all combinations will have at least one R allele, meaning that no roses (in the first generation) will have a WW allele combination. WW is the only allele combination that produces white roses.
