There are two main theories for the lack of organic material in desert soils. Firstly, the organic life in most deserts is so sparse that it cannot produce much organic matter. Secondly when things do die and decompose in the desert the heat and sunlight often bleach nutrients out of the matter before it is decomposes enough to be absorbed into soil
The answer I would choose is c
This is really a math question. If a person is supposed to consume 8, 8 oz glasses of water in one day than you would multiply
8 x 8oz =64 oz. than 64 oz x 30 days= 1920 oz in one month
because that is a large number you might want to break it down to gallons.
1920 oz divided by 128 oz (one gallon)= 15 gallons in one month.
Fred must have suffered muscle atrophy.
Explanation:
Since Fred broke his leg and a cast was put around his leg,his orthopedic must have suggested restricted movement of his leg as a part of treatment.. Due to this immobilization the muscle mass of his leg may have got wasted and his leg became weak. Being too weak the leg may not have supported the body weight and Fred fell.
The correct answer is D. Pioneer species
Explanation:
In biology, the term "pioneer species" refer to the first species that colonize new environments or environments in which there is no biodiversity for example lands that have been affected by fire, lava, etc. These species are in most cases plants or small organism that are resistant and able to adapt to the harsh conditions of new land. Additionally, this concept differs from keystone and foundation species because these two concepts describe species that have an important role in the ecosystem rather than those that first live on new land. Therefore, the first species to live on new land are the pioneer species.
