Explanation:

A good surfactant is going to have a hydrophilic head and a long hydrophobic tail. As a result, a surfactant molecule contains both an insoluble water (or an oil-soluble component) and a water-soluble component. Surfactant molecules will migrate to the surface of the water, where the insoluble hydrophobic group may extend out of the bulk phase of the water, either into the air or, if the water is mixed with oil, into the oil Phase, while the water-soluble head group remains in the water phase. This alignment and aggregation of surfactant molecules at the surface is intended to alter the surface properties of water at the water / air or water / oil interface.

explain how nitrogen atoms are transferred from dead mustard plants materisl into new marigold seedlings
liberstina [14]
Dead mustard plants disintegrate into the soil And the worms in the soil see it and are like woah man let’s fricking rave! So these worms rave until the riff of dawn and the air gets so dense it just turns into nitrogen. The rave vibes were so lit that the nitrogen had this gold ora to it. The worms gathered it all and in a way, molded it into a seedling. They were like “ we gonna name it marigold cuz we had a pretty merry good time”. So yea science is wild isn’t it?
