Answer:
E. are found in nitrogen-fixing cyanobacteria AND are used to protect nitrogenase.
Explanation:
Heterocysts are specialized cellular compartments found in nitrogen fixing cyanobacteria. They provide the ideal anaerobic environment for nitrogen fixation since nitrogenase enzyme cant work in presence of oxygen. Hence, in a cyanobacteria both the oxygen requiring photosynthesis process and the oxygen sensitive nitrogen fixation process takes place simultaneously.
Heterocysts have an additional cell wall made of glycolipid that provides a hydrophobic barrier to oxygen. They are involved in production of nitrogenase and other proteins that are required for nitrogen fixation. They also degrade photosystem II which is responsible for producing oxygen and produce proteins which remove any remaining oxygen.
Bacteria can convert nitrogen in the air into a form plants can use
Answer:
C) An inference is a prediction based on new knowledge that you acquire from research.
Eliminate.
Explanation:
ikk..........
When TWO FERTILIZE CELLS fuse together and make as one cell. It would undergo to many process and multiplication of cell until it would produce an multi cellular organism that could also produce a fertilize cells and be use for another fertilization
