Plants do not grow near the old copper mine because of the excess copper deposited in them impairs cellular processes and inhibits plant growth.
What are micronutrients?
These are required by plants in much smaller quantities less than 1% of the dry weight but are necessary for growth and development. There are 7 essential plant nutrients like boron (B), zinc (Zn), manganese (Mn), iron (Fe), copper (Cu), molybdenum (Mo), and, chlorine (Cl).
Copper activates some enzymes in plants that are involved in lignin synthesis and are required in the process of photosynthesis.
Excess copper causes reduced seed germination, low shoot vigour, and lower iron availability. A deficiency of copper can lead to increased to susceptibility to diseases like ergot, which can cause significant loss in the yield.
Plants growing in the old copper mine have the excess deposition of copper in one place which affects the germination of seeds hence it is found difficult to grow in the old copper mine.
Plants can grow easily in a place that is further away from the old copper mine. Because there is a high concentration of copper dissolved in water in the soil, this helps the plant to grow by exhibiting the photosynthesis process.

The priority nursing intervention during the first two hours after the cesarean birth are the following;
- make sure that the client is comfortable as possible
- the nurse should make sure that the client is not exhibiting any complications after giving delivery and to make sure that the client is okay and exhibiting the necessary symptom that she may exhibit after giving birth.
A. They impede fish migration and spawning
1 Answer. Mandira P. With the discovery of electron microscope, biologists realised that it did not make any sense to include prokaryotic world of bacteria in kingdom protista with single celled eukaryotic organisms. Hence a separate kingdom, Monera, was created.
Metals conduct electricity and heat, indicating that the electrons are free to move. Metals are malleable, showing that atoms are not in fixed positions but can remain bonded even though they change their positions. In metallic bonding, atoms donate electrons to a pool and all the atoms share in the pool. No compounds are formed, but the atoms are bonded into a network.
