What is The rapid rate of a process in tropical forests resulting in low nutrient soil?

Most rainforest soil is highly acidic and does not contain adequate nutrients. This is because decayed material that would normally be absorbed into the soil is processed quickly, leaving no chance for nutrients and minerals to stay behind in the soil.

What is the process called when you place the bacterial sample on the petri dish?
Inoculation is the process were in you will introduce bacterial samples on a nutrient broth or nutrient agar. If the medium you use contain bacteria it is now called inoculum. there are different technique in introducing bacteria in the medium like streaking, spreading, pouring.
What is the process called when clearing away trees in tropical forests?
clear cutting ------------------ deforestation
Why should people in North America be concerned about the rain forests in south Africa Asia and Africa?
The rain forests of Africa, Asia, and South America are major carbon sinks, i.e. absorb large quantities of carbon dioxide and release oxygen back into the atmosphere. Because of their fast growth, rain forests (especially tropical rain forests) absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen faster than temperate and boreal forests. The Amazon rain forest alone accounts for 20% of the oxygen production for the earth. Over time, humans have cut down or damaged at least 75% of the world's forests, and that destruction has accounted for much of the excess carbon that is warming the planet. At this time tropical forests are undergoing much faster deforestation than the forests in North America and Europe - and when a tropical forest is cleared, it takes far, far longer to recover than forests in temperate climes. Currently the carbon released into the atmosphere in the process of deforestation of tropical rain forests now accounts for roughly 17% of all global emissions contributing to climate change. This is more carbon dioxide than all cars, trucks, planes, trains and ships collectively emit into the atmosphere. The forests of Europe, North America have been significantly reduced by logging and Australia doesn't have enough forests to make much of contribution so we are quite dependent on the tropical rain forests. Also - 25% of Western pharmaceuticals are derived from ingredients found in tropical rain forests and it is reported that 121 prescription drugs sold worldwide are derived from plants from the tropical rain forests.
What is nutrient absorption?
Nutrient absorption is a process that organisms use to receive nutrients. Plants do this using their roots in the soil.
What is the process resulting in disaccharides?
etymology
What is the process of growing crops in a nutrient solution called?

The process of growing crops in a nutrient solution is called?
Hydroponics.
What is the process by which nutrient molecules are moved into the bloodstream called?
into your small intestine.
What is the policy assimilation?
Assimilation is the process of digesting food and absorption of nutrient.
What process of breaking down food into small nutrient molecules?
Digestion :)
What Nutrient commonly added in cow's milk fortification process?
Vitamin A
How does people kill oxygen when they cut tree's?
Green plant life generates oxygen through the process of photosynthesis. The leaves of trees is green plant life. Every tree that is eliminated eliminates the oxygen it was producing. The enormous tree cover in tropical forests create huge amounts of oxygen. As these forests are cleared away this oxygen is lost to the atmosphere.
When cooking vegetables what important nutrient is lost during the cooking process?
Fibre.
