A. carbon
B. phosphorus
C. hydrogen
D. sodium

The answer would most likely be sodium because carbon is a plants food, phosphorus is a nutrient in soil, hydrogen is air, but sodium does not have a place in a plant:)

Answer: The ansewer is Sodium (Na+)

Explanation: The cell wall of the plant cells is composed mostly of cellulose, which is a polysaccharide composed mostly of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen, and it has a linear and complex configuration. On the other hand, the cell membrane is composed of phospholipids, in the configuration of lipid bilayer. Phospholipids are molecules that have a polar head (where phosphorus is found) and a hydrophobic (lipid) tail. Carbon and hydrogen are also found in non-polar or hydrophobic tails. Sodium on the other hand is an Ion (Na +) that is mainly dissolved in water, so it is expected to find it mostly in the lumen or outside the cell. Sodium plays an important role in the transport of some substances through the cell membrane, but their amounts cannot be very high, because of being very concentrated, this can cause plasmolysis or cell destruction.

Explain the process of acid drainage
Mice21 [21]
Acid drainage, especially acid mine drainage is the process whereby water combines with the sulfide minerals like pyrite which is iron plus sulfur (high in sulfur) to produce sulfuric acid (iron plus sulfur plus oxygen so oxidation of the sulfide like pyrite is part of the process) which is deleterious to the environment so where mine waste contains pyrite then it must be isolated and neutralized with say limestone or submerged in water to prevent the development of sulfuric acid.

In all cells,the renewable energy source is
Eduardwww [97]

The renewable energy source in all cells would be;

ATP (adenosine tri phosphate)

ATP is responsible for active transport, cellular respiration and many other cell activity. Cells would die without ATP and then so will the organism itself.

vlabodo [156]
<span>The two strands of DNA are complementary. That is, there are four bases and each base in one strand interacts with only one base in the other strand. If you know all the bases in one strand you will be able to figure out all the bases in the other strand.
