<u>Answer</u>:

1. <u>Phosphorus</u>  in soil originates from (white arrows):

- plant residue,

- animal manures and biosolids

- atmospheric deposition (dust)

- mineral fertilizers

These sources all add to the phosphorus found in soil in both organic or inorganic forms.

2. <u>Phosphorus</u> from soil is released to (red arrows):

- <u>organic phosphorous</u> through:

<em> -->plant uptake</em> in the form of soluble P. This soluble form has several of its own sources such as primary minerals,  mineral surfaces, secondary compounds etc.

--> <em>immobilization</em> where microorganisms convert and absorb inorganic P

- <u>phosphates in solution</u> through:

-->runoff and erosion

-->a small portion though leaching

liberstina [14]

The correct answer is option (D) Lipid molecules are nonpolar because they repel water molecules, which are polar.

Lipids are organic compounds made up of fatty acids and glycerol. A glycerol is a organic molecule with three hydroxyl groups and a fatty acid consists of a long hydrocarbon chain attached to a carboxyl group.

Lipids are hydrophobic, nonpolar molecules with no charge on their ends. Waxes are long chain nonpolar lipids. The water repelling property of the waxes prevent the water sticking to it and appear as water beads on its surface. The hydrophobic hydrocarbon tail of the fatty acids are hydrophobic in nature making them repel water. The presence of wax on the surface of the plants and animals protects them from dehydration.

Thus, the nonpolar property of lipids make it insoluble in the polar solvents like water as there is no interaction or sharing of electrons between them.

Long-term evolution between bats and moths can lead to coevolution. Coevolution occurs when two species evolve in response to th
Sonja [21]

In this case, the two species have coevolved by modifying behavioral traits (moths) and physiological traits (bats).

<h3>What is coevolution?</h3>

Coevolution is a particular type of evolution where a selective pressure imposed by one species serves to generate an adaptive change in another species and vice-versa.

Coevolution is fundamental in predator-prey relationships and leads to the emergence of new traits that are selected by natural selection.

In conclusion, the two species above have coevolved by modifying behavioral traits (moths) and physiological traits (bats).
