Answer:

D-all of the above

Explanation:

The answer is D because....

Step one, It is not A Because although the statement is true it is not the best answer to fit the question. The soil does provide nutrients but it also does more, it provides temperature control, anchorage for the plant, and the soil contains oxygen in it to help the plant grow.
Step two, lets look at B it provides them with water. Although this is true like A, it does more than provide them with water. It provides them a medium for growth.
Step three, So this answer is not correct because based on the option choices for option D all of the above is correct. It provides them a medium for growth to the plants likings.
Step four. This is correct because all of the above are true and best explain why soil is important to plants.

Some objects in space are created from clouds of gas and dust. What will happen if the cloud does not have enough mass?

Westkost [7]

Some objects in space are created from clouds of gas and dust. A star forms when the mass of the dust cloud is large and has enough hydrogen to start creating a protostar and sustain the nuclear fusion reaction within the core of the protostar. If the dust cloud is not dense enough, then the star formation does not take place, rather a nebula is formed, example the Horse-head nebula. So the answer is (B) A star will not form.

saul85 [17]

Answer:

B. food production

Explanation:

In the example above described, salinity conditions (3%) completely prevented radicle development (0 mm). Salinity conditions may alter plant development by inhibiting the uptake of nitrogen, and by limiting water intake. Moreover, it has been shown that the excessive accumulation of chloride ions in plant cells may have toxic effects on plant growth, causing ionic stress and thus leading to nutrient deficiency.

For the generalized scheme of Alternation of generations (see p. 120), plants have two forms based on a genetic complement that are the Sporophytes (2N diploid) and Gametophyte (N haploid). The processes connecting the two stages are gametangia producing haploid spores and zygote cell growth producing haploid gametophyte. Group of answer choices

forsale [732]

Answer:

one with the fewest number of genetic differences in the nucleotide sequence.

Explanation:

A cladogram is a diagram capable of showing the relationships among different species and/or group of organisms. In a cladogram, the root indicates the common ancestor, while internal nodes represent the common ancestors of each group. In consequence, this diagram can be used to establish evolutionary relationships in which the start branch points represent common ancestors shared by the organisms found in the 'branches'. Nonetheless, the length of the branches in the cladogram does not represent evolutionary distances among groups. In recent years, cladograms based on DNA sequencing data have been combined with morphological data to establish evolutionary relationships among species.
