How does sand silt and Clay affect soil nutrients and plants

Biology
1 answer:
Ghella [55]3 years ago
6 0
Sand is granular and coarse meaning that water and nutrients can flow through it quite easily. Clay on the other hand has very fine particles that cling together to form a waterproof substance which traps/ stops any nutrients or water from moving down. Clay's also quite difficult for plants to get their roots into. Silt has a texture between clay and sand, meaning that it is the ideal substance as it allows the best water and nutrition movement in the soil. Most plants will grow best in silt, but there are some plants who are more adapted to living in sand (e.g. Marram grass) or clay.

Which of the following properties does NOT play a role in trees growing to towering heights by moving water from roots to leaves
jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:

The correct option is;

Water absorbing energy in large amounts to increase energy by a degree of temperature

Explanation:

The growth of trees to towering heights has to do with the formation of plant cell walls which are built by the aggregation Glucose molecules to form Cellulose molecules. The cellulose molecules further combines to form microfibrils by forming hydrogen bonding. The microfibrils that combine to make cell walls

Therefore, the growth of a tree is dependent on the formation of hydrogen bonds between water molecules to enable uptake of water into the plants which enable photosynthetic reaction that result in the formation of glucose

The transpiration, which is the conversion of water into vapor or gas at the leaves facilitates the uptake of more water for the formation of more glucose molecules and creation of hydrogen bonds

The hydrogen bonds between chlorophyll molecules is facilitated by forming hydrogen bond with water molecules.

In the metabolism of amino acids for energy, what is the effect of the amino acid group
julia-pushkina [17]
For use in (aerobic) respiration, polypeptides would first be hydrolysed to their amino acid monomers. These are each deaminated, i.e. have their amino groups removed, producing an organic acid, which can be fed into the Kreb's Cycle, and a waste product, ammonia (NH₃), which is moved to the liver and removed from the blood.

The metaphysical poets wrote very different poetry from the general style of the other poets of their time. They were not interested in writing about the usual images of nature or classical mythology. </span>
