People utilize plants to meet many everyday needs, including food, fiber, and building materials. However, not many of the over

300,000 known species of plants are used by people. One species with a lot of future promise is the jatropha tree. This species is native to Central America and is now found throughout the tropics. Many people believe the jatropha could help alleviate poverty in many areas of the world, as the seeds produce an oil that can be used for cooking, lighting, or generating electricity. This oil can also be mixed with diesel fuel or petrol to produce a biofuel. Mature trees produce between 5 and 15 kg of seeds per year and can live more than 30 years. Suppose a weather catastrophe occurred such that the bird pollinators of the jatropha tree were significantly diminished. Which form of dispersal might jatropha trees need for a chance to continue producing flowers and seeds?

Which of these are the two major sources of nitrate pollution in rivers?
nikklg [1K]

Answer:

The correct answer is <em>c. animal wastes and fertilizers. </em>

Explanation:

Two major sources of nitrate pollution are farming and breeding activities. There are also certain industrial activities involved in nitrate pollution, but in general, these industries are related to agriculture.

The indiscriminate use of fertilizers for several years in intensive productions produce high nitrate concentration in soil and consequently elevate the risk of nitrate lixiviation.

Breeding animals produce nitrate pollution by their wastes, which accumulate and are not treated. These wastes include flesh, hair, feathers, skin, fat, liquids, excrements, among others. These wastes are an important source of nitrate.

In many cases, animal wastes are used by farmers as organic matter to improve their production. But excessive and incorrect use of it might produce severe damage in water sources.

Describe the route of a reflex impulse in the somatic system
Sholpan [36]
Take for example - you touching something sharp and instantly moving your hand away.

Sensory neurons in your fingers detect the external stimuli of the sharp object and send a nerve impulse to the spinal cord (does not reach brain) and is sent back to a motor neurone - attached to an effector that moves the muscle and moves the hand away. This is a rapid reflex action and involuntary.
