Answer:

When soluble soil nutrients from the soil are washed away due to to effects of rain,floods or irrigation from agricultural practices the process by which this occurs is called LEACHING. As water molecules pass through different soil layers,soluble soil minerals are dissolved and carried by the water into the ground water.

Phosphorus is a soluble mineral which is easily carried away by the passing water molecules,and therefore drained from plants' roots.

if these were leached into rivers and drinking water,this may affect the water supply of the community as the percentage of Phosphorus increases in the water especially if NPK fertilisers were used.

In addition, some important solid nutrients are also leached into the underground soil layer leading to deficiencies in the plants.

katrin [286]

The answer is aldosterone. This hormone determines the rate of re-absorption of H+ ion and bicarbonate ions by the kidneys. Due to high levels of bicarbonate being produced by the pancreas, the blood will be basic. The kidneys will therefore be signaled to excrete more bicarbonate ions.

KIM [24]

Answer:

Explanation: Electrophoresis displays the entire DNA sequence, whereas fingerprinting allows you to quickly identify someone. But they have one thing in common: they are both so distinctive that it is nearly impossible for two persons to have the same fingerprint/DNA sequence.
