Answer:

c. More oxygen and less carbon dioxide

Explanation:

The composition of air in the layers between the soil is called soil atmosphere or gas.

The maximum percentage of gas in soil is nitrogen with 79.2 %. Then it is oxygen with 20.6 % and the last is carbon dioxide with 0.25 %. These gases are required in order to maintain life under the ground. The roots of trees and the microorganisms require soil atmosphere to carry out their functions.

Answer:

The correct answer is option B.  

Explanation:

The soil atmosphere contains oxygen and carbon dioxide both in a range of 0.4 to 21% however oxygen is replaced by the carbon dioxide. IN atmosphere the case is different in terms of oxygen as, oxygen is more and carbon dioxide is less, which is 21% and 0.36 respectively.

Oxygen is utilized by plant roots and also use by soil microbes through respiration and carbon dioxide released.

Thus, in the soil, the oxygen levels are less than atmospheric levels and the carbon dioxide levels are more than atmospheric levels.

True or False. The complement system consists of several proteins that circulate in the blood and have the ability to enhance bo
nirvana33 [79]

Answer: False

Explanation: The COMPLEMENT SYSTEM consists of proteins synthesized in the liver. They are activated by inespecific harmful substance (antigen) and begins a cascade of proteins that finally forms an attack complex against bacteria.

The COMPLEMENT is part of the INNATE IMMUNITY, because it is an inherent response, something all humans born with, and it is part of the first defense barrier against any antigen. Part of the innate immunity are too: natural killer cells, neutrophils, monocytes, dendritic cells and macrophages.

On the other hand, the ADAPTATIVE IMMUNITY, is the response that the body develops after being exposed to an antigen before. It is like something that the body recognizes, and then "learns" how to act against it. Part of the adaptative immunity are: lymphocyte T and B, and the antibodies (substances called Immunoglobulins). The immunoglobulins (Ig) are glycoproteins present in the blood.
