Answer:
Soil can become waterlogged. The water can cut off the air supply to the roots and to the organisms that live in the soil. If the roots do not receive enough oxygen, the plants will die because they rely on oxygen to complete photosynthesis.

Answer:
What is the effect of power/magnification on the frequency and size of organelles under a microscope?
Explanation:
Organelles within the cell are responsible for carrying out various functions. Some cells are more specialized than others, and may have particular organelles at a higher frequency, or showing a variation in size; sub-cellular structures become more visible at higher magnifications under the microscope.
Hypotheses:
- organelle A's frequency decreases while B's frequency increases at higher magnifications
- organelle A's size increases while B's size decreases at higher magnifications
<em />
<em>Dependent variables: size and frequency cell organelles</em>
<em>Independent variable: power/magnification at low (x4), medium(x10) and high (x40)</em>
<em>Controlled variables: Type of organelles, microscope used, cell examined, </em>
Method:
1. Examine the organelles A and B in a cell mounted on a slide; use the fine adjustment to focus on the cell.
- Frequency: What is the average number of organelle A versus B, seen at low (x4), medium (x10) and high (x40) magnifications?
- Size: Measure the average diameter of organelle A versus B using an ocular micrometer at low, medium and high magnification.
2. Record and tabulate observations.
Answer:
C) Nucleic Acid
D) Capsid
Explanation:
A virus is structure that is dependent on a living host to replicate itself. Viruses are majorly pathogenic in nature and have a structure that is made up of two parts namely: nucleic acid and capsid.
The nucleic acid, which can either be RNA or DNA holds the genetic information of the virus while the capsid is a protein coat that enclosed and protects the virus' genetic material. The capsid is also used during the infection life cycle of a virus where it helps the virus to attach to receptor cells on the host's cell membrane.
