Question
Chapter 29.1, Problem 1MQ
Summary Introduction
The epidemiologist traces the development of a disease to identify its mode of transmission and origin in a population. The population might be each people in a specific country, region, city or it could be the complete population of humans. The vital job of the epidemiologist is to carry out the surveillance of the disease which includes recognition, observation and reporting of diseases.

Apart from food, plants need other nutrients like water and minerals.
Nitrogen, a mineral, is an important part of all living cells. All organisms need nitrogen in order to grow and repair.
Although nitrogen exists in its elemental form in the atmosphere, it cannot be directly used by plants.
7 Where else can plants obtain their nitrogen from?
Plants make their own nitrogen.
B Plants get it from animals.
Plants get it from the soil.
D
Plants have special structures to break down
atmospheric nitrogen.
