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.

If an infant reaches for a toy hidden under a cloth, what does this suggest?
adelina 88 [10]
The correct answer is b.
The child is reaching for a toy which is not visible to him (hidden under a cloth), therefore, the child has a mental representation of the object in his/her mind. This action means that the child acknowledges that the objects continue to exist even when he/she can not hear or see them. This thought process is called object permanence and it is an ability acquired between the 4th and 7th month of a child's development.
