Answer: B. Precipitation affects the rate at which nutrients are removed from soil.

Explanation:

Soil is an aggregate of minerals, gases, water, and organic matter which supports the life of the plants. The soil is formed by the weathering of the rocks. But the formation and development of soil depends upon factors like temperature of the surrounding environment, rainfall and plants growing on it. The rainfall or precipitation can directly influence the quality of the soil. Too much rainfall can lead to leaching or removal of the inorganic and organic nutrients from the soil. They may make the soil acidic.

B. Precipitation affects the rate at which nutrients are removed from soil.

Soil is known to be a loose mixture of rock fragments, water, organic materials and air that  usually accommodate the growth of vegetation. Thus, formation and development of soil is a dynamic process rather than static and soil is present when pre-historic animals roamed the Earth and some these animals are preserved only fossilized soils buried deep beneath our present soil.

1. Why does the Elodea cell have chloroplasts but the onion cell does not, even though both are plant cells? Please answer quick
Oksanka [162]
Chloroplasts contain chlorophyll which is what makes plants green. Onions are not green because they do not contain chloroplasts. The reason they do not have chloroplasts is because in the chloroplast, photosynthesis takes place. A key player in the process of photosynthesis is the sun. The onion itself grows underground which means while they grow they do not come into contact with the sun so chloroplasts in an onion is pointless since they can’t undergo photosynthesis. Hope I helped!
