why are desert soils low in organic matter?

a. the temperatures are too high.

b. there are too many grazing animals.

c. there are not enough plants.

d. there are not enough minerals.

A. The temperatures are too high.

Explanation:

A desert is a region with extremes of temperatures and little to no rainfall.

Organic matter are the remains of organisms that have died. They are a very important component of soils.

Where temperatures are very extreme, there would be little to no life. Only special organisms that have evolved to adapt will survive such region.

Due to the low amount of plant and animal lives owing from the high temperature of deserts, little to no organic matter forms.

label b cytoplasm

label c ribosomes

label d dna

the membrane forms the outside of the cell

cytoplasm is the liquid within

ribosomes are the components within that distribute rna

the dna is the genetic make-up
