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.
In the leaves of a plant is a substance called chlorophyll. Chlorophyll makes leaves green. It also traps the energy from the sun so the plant can use it. When plants take carbon dioxide from the air, they release oxygen. Animals use this oxygen to grow. We release carbon dioxide, which the plants use. Plants also need minerals from the soil to grow. Nitrogen helps them grow and make leaves. Phosphorus helps grow strong roots. Potassium helps the plant make fruit and it keeps them healthy. Plants need large amounts of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. The soil doesnât always have enough of these nutrients. Gardeners use fertilizer to give plants more nutrients. Fertilizers are sort of like vitamins for plants.
