Answer to Question 1

F

Answer to Question 2

 Increase water-holding capacity
 Provide pore space, which enhances aeration that is critical for good plant growth
 Prevent small particles of clay from producing a solid mass, thereby enhancing root
growth
 Regulate soil temperature
 Release small amounts of nitrogen and other nutrients as it decays
 Increase the cation exchange capacity (CEC), which is a measurement of the soil's
ability to hold nutrients
 Promote the growth of microorganisms, which in turn helps to condition the soil

The human body's pharmacokinetics are quite varied. Our hair holds onto drugs longer than our urine, blood, or saliva. For example, alcohol can be detected in the hair for up to 90 days after it was consumed. The same is true for marijuana, cocaine, ecstasy, heroin, methamphetamine, and nicotine.
