Agricultural lands frequently require nutrient augmentation because

Biology
1 answer:
fenix001 [56]2 years ago
8 0

The given is incomplete as the options are missing. The correct options for the given question are as follows-

(A) cultivation of agricultural land inhibits the decomposition of organic matter

(B) nitrogen-fixing bacteria are not as plentiful in agricultural soils because of the use of pesticides

(C) land that is available for agriculture tends to be nutrient-poor

(D) the nutrients that become the biomass of plants are not cycled back to the soil on lands where they are harvested

Answer:

Option (D)

Explanation:

In order to carry out agricultural practices, the soil must be rich in essential nutrients for the growth of crops. The soil fertility is a key role in the production of crops.

This agricultural land often requires a large amount of these nutrients and minerals because some of the nutrient minerals are converted into plant biomass which is then used up to produce energy in other sectors. So, the nutrients that were present in the soil are taken away and not transferred back into the soil. This means that the nutrient cycle gets affected. Due to this reason, there requires a constant supply of nutrients into the agricultural fields.

Thus, the correct answer is option (D).

An infant is suffering from neonatal abstinence syndrome. the nurse provides appropriate care and support for the infant during
bezimeni [28]
Answer:


Linked the family with community sources for aid.


Besides nursing care, the nurse would make sure that interdisciplinary members of the team were involved, such as, the doctors' nutritionist, community worker, or resources, and provide a supportive environment for the family, and the client. The chaplain may be of support for the infant, or family may not be present. the bright room is overly stimulating to the withdrawing infant, and feeding is basic care.



Hope this helps.

You are a molecule of phosphorus. Choose a starting point in the process you would go through to move through the entire cycle.
noname [10]

Answer:

First I'd be found in rocks. Erosion would wash me into the soil. Then I'd be absorbed by plants, fungi or microorganisms so they can grow. Animals would get me by eating the plants or drinking the water that eroded the rock. The plants and animals die and I'm absorbed back into the soil.

Explanation:

Phosphorus Cycle Steps

The phosphorus cycle is a slow process, which involves five key steps.

Weathering

Since the main source of phosphorus is found in rocks, the first step of the phosphorus cycle involves the extraction of phosphorus from the rocks by weathering. Weather events, such as rain and other sources of erosion, result in phosphorus being washed into the soil.

Absorption by Plants and Animals

Once in the soil, plants, fungi, and microorganisms are able to absorb phosphorus and grow. In addition, phosphorus can also be washed into the local water systems. Plants can also directly absorb phosphorus from the water and grow. In addition to plants, animals also obtain phosphorus from drinking water and eating plants.

Return to the Environment via Decomposition

When plants and animals die, decomposition results in the return of phosphorus back to the environment via the water or soil.  

Plants and animals in these environments can then use this phosphorus, and step 2 of the cycle is repeated.

Human Impact on the Phosphorus Cycle

Humans have had a significant impact on the phosphorus cycle due to a variety of human activities, such as the use of fertilizer, the distribution of food products, and artificial eutrophication. Fertilizers containing phosphorus add to the phosphorus levels in the soil and are particularly detrimental when such products are washed into local aquatic ecosystems. When phosphorus is added to waters at a rate typically achieved by natural processes, it is referred to as natural eutrophication. A natural supply of phosphorus over time provides nutrients to the water and serves to increase the productivity of that particular ecosystem. However, when foods are shipped from farms to cities, the substantial levels of Phosphorus that is drained into the water systems is called artificial or anthropogenic eutrophication. When levels of phosphorus are too high, the overabundance of plant nutrients serves to drive the excessive growth of algae. However, these algae die or form algae blooms, which are toxic to the plants and animals in the ecosystem. Thus, human activities serve to harm aquatic ecosystems, whenever excess amounts of phosphorus are leached into the water.

Describe two typical applications for each of the following types of microscope
Veseljchak [2.6K]
A.Transmission electron microscopes are a versatile tool for many fields, including medicine, biology, nanotechnology, metallurgy, forensics, electronics, material science, and much more. A biologist might use a TEM to look at the internal structure of a cell.

b. Industries including microelectronics, semiconductors, medical devices, general manufacturing, insurance and litigation support, and food processing, all use scanning electron microscopy as a way to examine the surface composition of components and products.

c.Brightfield Microscope is used in several fields, from basic biology to understanding cell structures in cell Biology, Microbiology, Bacteriology to visualizing parasitic organisms in Parasitology. Most of the specimens to viewed are stained using special staining to enable visualization.

d.A dissecting microscope is used to view three-dimensional objects and larger specimens, with a maximum magnification of 100x. This type of microscope might be used to study external features on an object or to examine structures not easily mounted onto flat slides.
