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.
Plants need nitrates to develop green leaves. Nitrogen, potassium and phosphorus are the three major nutrients plants need to grow successfully. In particular, nitrogen is responsible for foliage development. Plants use nitrogen in the form of nitrates, which is nitrogen mixed with oxygen. They usually absorb nitrates from the soil.
Nitrogen is one of the most important chemical elements for plants. If there is not enough nitrogen available in the soil plants look pale and their growth is stunted. Nitrogen fixing plants are called legumes. Legumes - and all peas and beans are legumes - are plants that work together with nitrogen fixing bacteria called Rhizobia, to fix nitrogen. The Rhizobia chemically convert the nitrogen from the air to make it available for the plant. Legume plants live in a symbiotic relationship with the nitrogen fixing bacteria - the Rhizobia live in nodules in the plant's roots. This way the plant can look after its own nitrogen needs. Fertilizer is not required.
