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 nitrogen in organic matter is largely in organic forms that plants cannot use. Bacteria found in soils convert organic forms of nitrogen to inorganic forms that the plant can use. Nitrogen is taken up by plant roots and combined into organic substances in the plant, such as enzymes, proteins and chlorophyll. Chlorophyll gives the plant its green color.
