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.

Is the blood pressure measured in the calf larger or smaller than the blood pressure measured on the upper arm?
lana66690 [7]
<span>The blood pressure measured in the calf is lower than it is in the arm. Blood pressure in the body is highest right at the ascending arch of the aorta. From that point, the pressure decreases as blood moves "distally" from the heart. Purely mechanically, legs are farther away from the heart than are the arms, thus pressure is less.</span>

Saccharomyces cerevisiae (a yeast species) mutants are available that grow on pyruvate or ethanol, but not sugars or glycerol.
mezya [45]

Answer:

The enzyme is the pyruvate kinase

Explanation:

The designated enzyme can only grow in pyruvate or in ethanol. They are said to be in anaerobic conditions. If the end product of glycolysis is pyruvate and the enzyme that transforms phosphoenol pyruvate into pyruvate is called pyruvate kinase. In a reaction under anaerobic conditions, the pyruvate is transformed into ethanol. So if the pyruvate kinase enzyme is mutated, pyruvate cannot be transformed into ethanol and Saccharomyces cerevisiae could not survive in that medium.
