Types of eye twitching. Minor eyelid twitch also can be caused by irritation of the surface of the eye ( cornea) or the membranes lining the eyelids (conjunctiva). Sometimes the cause of minor eyelid twitch cannot be identified. In almost all cases it is painless and harmless.
Roots are not simply smooth, long structures. In fact, they typically have tiny hairs that cover most of the roots' length. These hairs absorb water and soluble nutrients for plant success. However, some critical nutrients, like phosphorus, are not readily absorbed by plant root hairs. Soil micro-organisms, such as earthworms, consume the surrounding elements and expel castings rich in soluble elements.
Nitrogen and carbon are also part of DNA. Unlike carbon and nitrogen, most of the phosphorous on Earth is stored in soil and rocks in the form of phosphate. Phosphate is one molecule of phosphorous surrounded by four molecules of oxygen, or PO43-. Plants can absorb phosphate directly through their roots. From there, it moves through the community in traditional fashion and back into the ground as animals die and decompose.
