Mineralization is the final step in the decomposition process, where microorganisms break down organic matter in detritus into inorganic nutrients like nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and sulfur (S), making them available for plant uptake. Steps in Decomposition: (i) Fragmentation – Detritivores break detritus into smaller particles. (ii) Leaching – Water dissolves soluble organic and inorganic nutrients. (iii) Catabolism – Enzymatic breakdown of complex organic compounds. (iv) Humification – Formation of humus (partially decomposed organic matter). (v) Mineralization – Conversion of organic matter into inorganic nutrients by decomposers like bacteria and fungi.
The speed of the boat in still water is 12 km/hr and the speed of the stream is 9 km/hr. A boat goes 84 km downstream with its usual speed but at the ti...
The speed of a boat in still water is 45 km/hr, and the speed of the stream is 5 km/hr. The boat takes 30 minutes longer to cover a distance of x km ups...
If a boat travels 18 km more in downstream than in upstream in 3 hours and if the speed of the Boat in still water is 20 kmph. Find the distance tra...
A boat goes 60 km upstream in 4 hours and 50 km downstream in 2 hours, then the speed of the boat in still water is
A man swims 3km/h against the stream and goes 1 km in 10 minutes along the stream, how much time will it take to cover 5 km in still water?
A boat can travel 10 km more in downstream than that in upstream, in 5 hours while the difference between the time taken by the same boat to travel 250 ...
The speed of current is 30 km/hr. If the speed of the boat in still water had been 13 km/hr more than the original speed then it would take 7.5 hours to...
The speed of a boat downstream is 20% more than the speed of the boat in still water. If the boat can travel 1280 km upstream in 16 hours, then find the...
