Determining the weight of 100 CDs depends on whether only the CDs are weighed or if the CDs have sleeves or jewel cases. A single CD by itself weighs about 0.58 ounces. Therefore, 100 CDs by themselves weigh 58 ounces.
Nitrogen is found in all living cells. Without nitrates, a plant cannot grow and produce flowers and seeds. This is primarily because nitrogen is an essential component of plant proteins and chlorophyll, which is necessary for the process of photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is how a plant makes food. Without nitrates, photosynthesis cannot occur, and the plant will die from a lack of food.
The microorganisms take nitrogen from the soil for proteins. Consequently, for a time the concentration of inorganic nitrogen in the soil declines, and may be deficient for plant growth. As residue decomposes, the C:N ratio narrows. At a ratio of approximately 17:1, nitrogen becomes available for plant use.
