What is the dark organic rich material formed as a top layer in soil from the decayed remains of plants and animals

Biology
1 answer:
vovikov84 [41]3 years ago
5 0

<u>Answer:</u>

<em>Dark rich organic material formed as a top layer in soil from the decayed remains of plants and animals is called humus.  </em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

When dead parts of plants and animals are deposited in soil the <em>decomposing bacteria present in the soil act on these remains and break them down.  </em>

Plant and animal bodies contain organic compounds which are broken down into inorganic nutrients by the decomposers. These nutrients are taken up by producers and the nutrients restart their journey in the food chain.  

<em>Humus is identified by its rich dark color. The amount of humus decides how fertile the soil is. More the humus content fertile is the soil.  </em>

Why do plant need food
erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

They need food in order to gain the initial energy they need.

Explanation:

Plants unlike humans don't get food by primary sources (aka, hunting). instead they retrieve their food from the suns rays. Without the suns rays they are able to convert this energy into glucose for themselves, and will essentially die because they do not have that source of food to give them the energy they need to survive.

What two elements have the same number of energy level (shells)?
melomori [17]

Answer:

Elements that are found in the same horizontal row (belong to the same period) in the periodic table, e.g. Fluorine and Neon both have the same energy level of 2.

<em>Note: The question does not specify any two elements.</em>

Explanation:

The modern periodic table is organized into eight vertical columns known as groups and seven horizontal rows known as periods. The atomic number ( number of protons in the nucleus) of elements increases when moving across the periodic table from left to right. The horizontal rows or periods represents an energy levels or the number of electron shells in an element. Energy levels (also called electron shells) are fixed distances from the nucleus of an atom where electrons may be found. Elements belonging to the same period have the same number of energy level or shells. For example, the elements belonging to Period 2 include lithium, beryllium, boron, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine and neon. These all have the same number of energy level of 2.

13) Crossing over is important because it creates ___.
Ainat [17]

Crossing over is important because it creates genetic variability.

<h3>What is crossing over?</h3>

It is the exchange of chromosomal segments between non-homologous chromosomes in a tetrad.

Since chromosomal segments contain genes at different loci, the exchange will increase the genetic variability of the new chromosomes.

Thus, the daughter cells carrying the recombined chromosomes will be genetically variable from not just the parent cell, but fellow daughter cells.
