Answer:

D. Less erosion by wind and runoff will occur on farms with cover crops than on farms without cover crops.

Explanation:

A cover crop is a crop planted to protect the soil from erosion, diseases, etc rather than to produce crop yield.

This type of crop has prevention of soil erosion on the farmland among one of its many functions. Other functions include increasing soil quality, suppress weeds, etc.

Cover crops prevent erosion by reducing the amount of water that is drained off a land because of its deep roots which enables water to be sieved from the ground. Their residue is left on the land to prevent excess water runoff, thereby protecting the land from erosion during heavy rainfall.

Some examples of cover crops are legumes and grasses.

Therefore, farmers in Blackland Prairie that leave their farms bare are more at risk of erosion than farmers that plant cover crops.

poizon [28]

Answer:

The options

a. riboflavin

b. vitamin D

c. pantothenic acid

d. folic acid

The CORRECT ANSWER IS d.

d. Folic acid

Explanation:

Having a healthy baby means staying healthy. Getting sufficient folic acid each day — mostly before conception and at early pregnancy as it reduces risk of serious neural tube defects (partial development of the brain and spinal cord) to a very large extent.

Folic acid (or folate) is a B vitamin (B9) found majorly in dark green vegetables (broccoli and spinach), legumes(beans and peas) and enriched grains.

It is essential for all women of childbearing age to get sufficient folic acid (necessary for cell growth and development plus DNA formation too)— not just those who are trying to conceive.
