Small particles of organic material are called _______.

<span>Organic materials found in soil such as dead plants, animal fesis, bacteria, and fungi cause decomposition in the soil or a decaying breakdown of organic materials which is needed for proper soil health. Decomposition releases small particles of microorganisms or detritus which other living organisms feed on and release energy as well as recycles inorganic materials back into the food chain. These small particles are so small that the naked eye cannot see. The process of photosynthesis is very important for the food chain. Healthy soil helps plants grow, decomposition feeds the plants, the sun provides energy which releases carbon dioxide so the plants can grow, and the plants release oxegen into the atmosphere which living organisms need to survive.</span>

Raw shell eggs must be received in refrigerated equipment that keeps them at a temperature of _______ or less. A. 41°f B. 45°f C

emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

B. 45°f

Explanation:

It is recommended that raw shell eggs must be stored at a temperature of 45°f or less because this ensures that the eggs will retain their quality over a long period of time.
The quality of the eggs is maintained below 45°f because cool temperatures help to slow the growth of several bacteria and also helps to avoid the degradation of the eggs.
The rate of degradation at higher temperatures is such that at higher temperatures the loss of quality in one day is equivalent to the loss of quality in one week when kept at temperatures lower than 45°f.

Identical population-splitting events occurred simultaneously on two neighboring islands, Islands B and C, which are each initia

sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

This is due to the event of Speciation that happened for the rodents in Island B but not for the rodents in Island C.

Explanation:

Due to splitting of the population,

The sub-population of rodents formed in Island B are B1 and B2.
The sub-population of rodents formed in Island C are C1 and C2.
In case of Island B, each of the B1 and B2 sub-populations that got split from each other developed certain mutations that were necessary for them to adapt to the particular diverse environment each of them were exposed to, through the period of 50,000 years. These mutations were so varied that reproductive isolation was generated between them that resulted in each of them to develop into different species.Hence, speciation happens here and B1 and B2 are incapable of inter-breeding.
In case of Island C, each of the C1 and C2 sub-populations that got split might have got exposed to similar environmental change or no environmental change or the environmental change might have been too small to cause drastic change in each of the sub-populations. As a result of this the two sub-populations might have acquired certain mutations to adapt to the environment each of them were exposed to, through a period of 100,000 years. These mutations might not have been too variable or contrasting to cause reproductive isolation between C1 and C2. Hence, no new speciation happens here and C1 and C2 are capable of inter-breeding.

Nataly_w [17]

Soil

Soil is the upper layer of the ground comprising of a mixture of sand, silt, clay, loose rock fragments, and organic matter that can support the growth of rooted plants. The relative proportions of sand, silt and clay determine the texture and size of the pores of the soil, which affects its ability to allow air and water to penetrate/infiltrate.
