The acidity of the soil-peat inhabits diversity of plant species compared to marshes.

An important distinction to bogs would be that marsh soils are more typically neutral in the pH scale, to slightly more basic.

Hope this helps! If it does, please go to my page and say thanks! Thankyou!

Answer:

The high nutrient enriched soil, long growing period and sufficient sunlight exposure are major factors which makes the marshes more productive than the bogs.

Explanation:

Marshes are one of the highly productive ecosystems just like the swamps. This is because of the following reasons –

a) High nutrient depositions due to the flow of nutrient enriched sediments of river though the marsh area

b) They have long growing period

c) Sufficient amount of sunlight exposure.

While bogs remain water choked most of time in a year and thus decaying plants and leaves form an important part of its soil. Such soils have low oxygen and nutrient content.

Rom4ik [11]

Answer: Oligodynamic and unaffected by antimicrobial resistance

Explanation:

Silver is one of the most affected effective antimicrobial which is so effective that the microbes die when being exposed to the silver.

It is used in case of wound dressing, and it is used to coat medical devices . It is used as an external application such as on the skin and while dressing.

The oligodynamic action of the metal is to block the free carbonyl and sufhydryl group present in the organism.

Even in the small concentration it can be used to kill the microbes.

What is the explanation of why avery, macleod, and mccarty's in vitro transformation experiment showed that dna, but not rna or

astraxan [27]

The Griffith's experiment, the Avery-MacLeod-McCarty experiment, and the Hershey–Chase experiments were the set of experiments that established DNA as the key hereditary molecule. The Avery-MacLeod-McCarty experiment was an extension to the Griffith's experiment. The heat killed virulent S strain cells of the Griffith's experiment were lysed to form a supernatant containing a mix of RNA, DNA, proteins and lipids from the cell. The supernatent was equally divided into 3 parts after the removal of the lipids. The 3 parts were respectively treated with an RNAase to degrade the RNA, DNAase to degrade the DNA and proteinase to degrade the proteins. The treated supernatant was then added into the culture containing the non-virulent R cells. In case of the supernatant treated with the DNAse, no transformation of R cells into S cells occurred. The transformation of R cells to S cells occurred in the proteinase and the RNAse cases. This indicated that DNA was the hereditary molecule and not protein or RNA.

Based on the benefits received from the Three Gorges Dam, China is planning four new dams for the Yangtze River further upstream

Sphinxa [80]

Answer:

No. China is already consuming third of the world's coal production for electricity, which is a serious challenge to the environmental. The trade off is fair so China should build the new dam.
