Dead organic matter from the plants in the form of litter and root exudate (including acids, sugars, polysaccharides and ectoenzymes) and dead roots are processed by living organisms in the soils.
<span>For example, earthworms may substantially improve soil condition in newly formed soils, such as in post mining sites. In the same time, earthworms can also cause severe negative impacts by bringing invasive exotic species to the ecosystem.</span>


Plants<span>, </span>animals<span> and micro-organisms (fungi and bacteria) all affect </span>soil formation<span> by producing or contributing to humus production. The amount of humus in a </span>soil<span> is a result of how much </span>plant material has been incorporated into it.

s2008m [1.1K]

Answer:

Option (d).

Explanation:

Mutation may be defined as the sudden, heritable change in the nucleotide sequence of the organism. Mutation may occur due to the errors in DNA replication or may occurs due to the mutagens.

Joshua and Lederberg experiment explains that mutation is the non adaptive and random process that occur in the organism. He used the replica plating of E.coli and grows them on streptomycin drug. The bacteria was grown on the the primary plate and they are transferred to the secondary plate with streptomycin drug in the growth environment. The resistant strain of bacteria grows in the streptomycin environment.The pattern of bacteria growth on the plate explained that mutation occurs randomly and it is a non adaptive process.

Thus, the correct answer is option (d).

nexus9112 [7]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

The plants in the light formed bubbles because they released oxygen gas, This is because bubbles that are formed takes the places of oxygen molecules O2. Oxygen is released during photosynthesis through the process called light-dependent reaction.  The light-dependent reaction occurs only in the presencee of light. So, if bubbles formed are equivalent to oxygen molecules released in light-dependent reaction, then it is expected for bubbles to be found only on the leaves on those plants that were in a well-lit room.

Scientists claim that global climate change is threatening many species with extinction. Which statement provides the strongest
solniwko [45]

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

The animals that live on the earth in many different regions because they are adapted to live in a particular habitat. The animals of the polar regions cannot adjust living the Sahara desert and the reptiles living in the desert cannot live in polar regions.

But many of the species are dependent on the seasonal change and they only emergence or produce during specific period of time.

But if due to global climatic change there will be no emergence of particular species and their species will be extinct over a period of time. So, the global temperature needs to be constant in order to support life of the species dependent on the seasonal temperature change.
