Answer to Question 1

group of soybean seedlings treated with the bacterial inoculum should grow
faster. The increased growth rate is a result of increased nitrogen availability as the seed germinates and the seedling begins to grow. Though untreated seedlings can
develop root nodules containing Rhizobium, which occurs naturally in the soil,
treating the seedlings with pea inoculum guarantees that the seedlings will become
infected with Rhizobium as they germinate. The number of nodules per plant is also
increased by the use of commercial pea inoculum



Answer to Question 2

Because many leguminous plants used as crop plants are nitrogen-fixers, the
bacteria associated with the roots of these plants would be actively engaged in
fixing atmospheric nitrogen and adding it to the soil. Animal fecal material and
urine are also high in nitrogen; not unless the pasture contained a large number of
animals with an active soil microflora, most of the nitrogen would be in the green
dung and not in the soil.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.

When Gabriel Fahrenheit invented the first mercury thermometer, he called "zero degrees" the lowest temperature he was able to attain with a mixture of ice and salt. For the upper point of his scale, he used 96°, which he measured as normal human body temperature (we know it to be 98.6° today because of more accurate thermometers).
