How does soil texture affect the ability of a soil to support plant life?
Twentynine
Soil with loose pores will allow water to collect and roots to expand. Loose soil is therefore better than hard compact soil.
On the other hand, finer particles, like clay increase surface area of the soil which will allow nutrients to stay in the soil. Very porous soil, such as sand, will allow nutrients to be leached more easily which can make less nutrients available to plants.
Generally, a loose, airy soil structure is best for most plants.
This can be accomplished by digging the bed and mixing together coarse and finer textures, such as tilling compost into clay soil.

Can you run on an acl tear?
The ACL helps with the stability of the knee. If can severe affect the ability to plant and turn sharply but usually does not have much affect on the ability to run or jog without sharp cuts.
How does soil fertility and pH affect the ability of soil to support plant life?
In general, a plant cell sap has 6 pH value. That means it works well in a slightly acidic medium. Thus, soil having more than 7 pH becomes alkaline. Increased alkalinity or acidity affect the metabolic activities in plants. Likewise soil fertility also affect plant life. A fertile soil and neutral pH help in better plant metabolism. Hence their optimum values are congenial to plant life.

Does the color of light affect the growth of mongo plant?
Yes, the color of light affect the growth of the mongo and any other green plant. This is because some colors of the light, e.g. blue light, do not support photosynthesis.
