Answer: C. Synthetic fertilizers increase the potential for environmental pollution.

Explanation:

A fertilizer is a material which when applied to soil ,supply one or more plant nutrients essential to the growth of plants.

Fertilizers could be organic ( obtained from nature ) or could be synthetic ( made artificially in labs).

Though synthetic fertilizers such as urea keep nutrient levels high and increase crop yields but they also kill beneficial microorganisms in the soil that convert dead human and plant remains into nutrient-rich organic matter. The non biodegardable synthetic fertilizers seep into groundwater and increase its toxicity, causing water pollution.

Synthetic fertilizers damage the natural makeup of the soil. Plants that grow in soils which use synthetic fertilizers are deficient in iron, zinc, carotene, vitamin C, copper and protein.

IF A CUBE IS 1CM ON A SIDE, CALCULATE ITS SURFACE AREA. HINT WRITE 2 points
frosja888 [35]

Answer:

Surface area of the cube = 6cm²

Volume of the cube = 1cm³

Explanation:

The surface area of a cube, which refers to the sum of all the areas of the faces of the cube can be calculated using the formula:

S.A = 6 × a²

That is; a² + a² + a² + a² + a² + a²

Where;

a = length of a side of a cube

a² = area of one side of a cube

Note that, a cube has 6 faces

According to this question, a cube has a length of 1cm on each side.

Hence, S.A = 6 × 1²

S.A = 6 × 1

S.A = 6cm²

Volume of the cube can be calculated using the formula: a³

Where a = 1

Volume = 1 × 1 × 1

Volume = 1cm³

What takes place when you inhale?
bezimeni [28]

Explanation:

When you breathe in, or inhale, your diaphragm contracts and moves downward. This increases the space in your chest cavity, and your lungs expand into it. The muscles between your ribs also help enlarge the chest cavity. They contract to pull your rib cage both upward and outward when you inhale
