Answer:

Soil is one of the main sources of nutrients needed by plants in order for them to grow. Nitrogen is used by plants for lots of leaf growth and good green color. Phosphorous is used by plants to help form new roots, make seeds, fruit and flowers. Potassium helps plants make strong stems and keep growing fast. It's also used to help fight disease. Magnesium is the central core of the chlorophyll molecule in plant tissue.

Answer:

Explanation:

1.Without enough nitrogen  in the soil the plant cannot grow taller, or produce enough food.

2.phosphorus results in higher grain production, improved crop quality, greater stalk strength, increased root growth, and earlier crop maturity. That is important because crops take up phosphorus only from the soil solution.

3.The role of Magnesium in the soil is the central core of the chlorophyll molecule in plant tissue. Thus, if Mg is deficient, the shortage of chlorophyll results in poor and stunted plant growth. Magnesium also helps to activate specific enzyme systems.

4. Potassium is a critical nutrient that plants absorb from the soil, and from fertilizer. It increases disease resistance, helps stalks to grow upright and sturdy, improves drought tolerance and helps plants get through the winter. Potassium triggers activation of enzymes and is essential for production of  (ATP).Both uptake of water through plant roots and its loss through the stomata are affected by potassium.

Hope this helped!!!

How many and what are the processes that seed plants use to reproduce.
Luba_88 [7]
Plants reproduce through the process of fertilisation. Fertilisation is the process where female and male cells join together to form an embryo inside the seed. The seed protects the embryo in preparation for germination when conditions permit the plant to produce new plants.

Seed plants are classified into two types to determine reproduction. First are the Angiosperms, this type of seed plant has flowers that have special structures for reproduction. Pollens are made by male cells, while ovules are made by female cells. Pollens are carried out through the process of pollination (e.g. wind blows, insects carrying pollen). Most angiosperms that don’t undergo pollination develop intro fruits. If it goes into pollination they become new flowering plants.

Second classification is the Gymnosperms, which are seed plants that are held in cones. Gymnosperms like Angiosperms also have male and female reproductive cells. Reproduction also occurs through pollination but most gymnosperms are trees. The best example of a gymnosperm are pine cones.  </span>

Choose all the pieces of individual evidence.
faust18 [17]
Criminal evidence is any physical or verbal evidence presented in court to prove a specific crime. Evidence can take different forms and can be used by the accused to prove innocence. Admissible evidence, moreover, is the use of testimony (oral or written such as affidavit), exhibits (physical objects), documentary material or demonstrative evidence ( in the form of representation of an object including photos, x-rays, videotapes, movies, sound recordings, diagrams, forensic animation, maps, drawings, graphs, animation, simulations or models). All are presented before a judge or jury to prove a point or element in a case. In the choices above, six of them can qualify as individual evidence except numbers 3. Number 8, however, is questionable since it has incomplete description as to where and how is the paint was chipped.
