Why are desert soils low in organic matter?

Biology
1 answer:
cluponka [151]3 years ago
8 0
There are two main theories for the lack of organic material in desert soils. Firstly, the organic life in most deserts is so sparse that it cannot produce much organic matter. Secondly when things do die and decompose in the desert the heat and sunlight often bleach nutrients out of the matter before it is decomposes enough to be absorbed into soil

Pani-rosa [81]

Answer: c) Some organisms rely on energy captured from inorganic compounds to drive basic biological processes.

Explanation:

Deep-sea hydrothermal vents are hot spots of geothermal water. The organisms living in deep-sea vents cannot obtain energy from sunlight. They are dependent on chemosynthesis, which involves the utilization of inorganic substances to produce organic substances, which allows their survival and act as a source of energy. In the given situation, bacteria present on the surface of mussels are capable of chemosynthesis also the mussels are dependent upon inorganic hydrogen in seawater. Thus chemosynthesis supports the survival of organisms living in the deep sea vents.

Type 1 or slow pitch muscle fibres are more efficient and last for a long period of time. They are use for postural maintenance or endurance. It use aerobic respiration to produce energy or ATP.

Is a adaption a behavior or a genetic characteristic
Phantasy [73]
An adaptation occurs when a species is set through a new constraint. This can be change in climate, defense mechanisms, food source, etc. Which will have to occur before an adaptation is made. For an example: in North America the climate slightly swifted. This meant smaller mammals such as rabbits would need to have a thicker coat of fur or shelter. Let's say all the thin furred rabbits died and all that remained were the thick furred rabbits. Over a span of time the rabbits have adapted through the climate. Meaning most of the population is thick furred through their DNA. Conclusively, it's a genetic characteristic that can happen very rapidly or slowly.

I hope this solved your question!
