How do bacteria help and harm crops? Published: Over half of the world’s population depends on rice as a staple food. However, some bacteria cause diseases that can drastically reduce rice harvests, potentially leading to famine. Meanwhile, other bacteria are beneficial for soybean plants, as they help produce important nutrients. Understanding how bacteria interact with plants is, therefore, essential for preventing plant disease and increasing crop yields.

In order to help us understand density, let's take a look at two classrooms. Classroom one could be described as having a dense population of students. Compare this to classroom two, which would be considered a low or less dense population of students. So what is density? Density is a measure of the mass of an object per unit volume. It is a measure of how compact the atoms inside of an object is.
