Nitrogen is returned to the atmosphere during the nitrogen cycle in a process referred to as denitrification.

<h3>What is denitrification?</h3>

It is a process whereby nitrogen becomes mineralized from nitrogenous compounds. In other words, it is the reduction of nitrates to produce elemental nitrogen which is returned to the atmosphere.

Denitrification is a microorganisms-driven process. The nitrates are made to pass through a series of reactions with intermediate products before finally leading to the production of elemental nitrogen.

What statement best explains why meiosis produces haploid cell rather than diploid cells
Shkiper50 [21]

The right answer is Haploid cells join to form an organism that has a complete set of chromosomes.

Meiosis makes it possible to pass from a cell to 2n chromosomes to 4 cells with n chromosomes, thus ensuring the passage from the diploid phase to the haploid phase.

So from the  fertilization phase to the meiosis phase, the cells will be diploid (2n chromosomes). From the meiosis phase to the fertilization phase, it is the haploid phase (n chromosome).

Studies reveal that ventilation drifts upward during constant-load submaximal exercise performed in a hot and humid environment.
Rina8888 [55]
<span>The answer would be; a significant increase in blood temperature.

The muscle contraction from exercise will produce heat that will increase the body temperature. In a hot and humid condition, this will make the body temperature hard to be lowered. The increase of blood temperature will influence the respiratory control center, makes the respiration drift upward.</span>

g Cerebrospinal fluid formed in the lateral ventricles travels through the ________ to reach the third ventricle.
kolezko [41]

Answer: Interventricular foramen

Explanation:

<u>The cerebrospinal fluid is a fluid that covers the brain and spinal cord. It circulates through the subarachnoid space, the cerebral ventricles and the ependymal canal</u>. Several diseases alter its composition and its study usually detects meningeal infections, carcinomatosis and hemorrhages. Some of its functions are:

  • Hydropneumatic support against local pressure for the encephalon.
  • Eliminates metabolites from the central nervous system.
  • Protects the central nervous system from trauma.

This fluid also fills the ventricles, which are large open structures deep within the brain and help keep the brain buoyant and cushioned. The lateral ventricles are the largest ventricles and connect to the third ventricle through the intraventricular foramen. This third ventricle is a narrow, medial cavity located between the diencephalic masses. <u>Then, the interventricular foramina are channels that connect with the ventricles of the lateral walls and with the third ventricle</u>, at the level of the midline of the brain. Like these channels, they allow cerebrospinal fluid to circulate through the rest of the ventricular system of the brain. The walls of the foramina also contain choroid plexuses, responsible for the production of cerebrospinal fluid, which continue in both the lateral ventricles and the third ventricle. After reaching the third ventricle, the cerebrospinal fluid travels through the median aperture into the subarachnoid space at the base of the brain.

The elements potassium (K) and chlorine (CI) can form an ionic bond. Which of the following
musickatia [10]

Answer:

As chlorine has 7 valence electrons, it tends to form bonds to gain one electron (to get a full valence shell of 8).On the other hand, potassium has one valence electron, so it tends to lose this electron to other atoms (and

become a cation)
