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.
A plant needs nutrients to survive. Most of these are provided by the soil, but soil varies tremendously in nutrient amounts, soil type, pH, and nutrient availability. The three main nutrients that have been identified as absolutely necessary for plants are nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and potassium (K). These three are also known as macronutrients, and are the source of the three numbers commonly found on organic fertilizer labels. The numbers found on our All-Purpose Fertilizer, for example, are 5-5-5. This is the percentage by weight of the N, P, and K found in the fertilizer. So whatâs so important about nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium?
