Answer:

Option D

Explanation:

All these images are of homologous structure in different species. They are called homologous as their skeletal elements have similarity which indicates their connection to a common ancestor. They are structurally similar but look different and also have different function.  

These homologous structures depicts the changes that have occurred in the course of evolution of these organism in different geographic entities and under different circumstances  (even after coming from the same ancestors) due to which similar body organs have adapted themselves to a different function or they might have become function-less.  

For example - Tails in monkey, rats and mammals are structurally same organs but have different functions in different species. However, in case of humans tails have become function-less.  

Hence, option D is correct

It is the last choice because their similar bone structures suggest they once had a common ancestor, which is why they are all mammals.

Pepsi [2]

Nitrogen Cycle steps:

N molecules breaking apart via nitrogen-fixing bacteria.

Animals ingest nitrogen in nitrate-containing food after plants use nitrogen-containing compounds.

The organic matter decays via decomposers

N2 is formed via denitrifying bacteria.

Explanation:

The nitrogen-fixing bacteria removes atmospheric nitrogen by fixing nitrogen through nitrification. The atmospheric nitrogen cannot be absorbed by plants and hence has to be converted into nitrates. This conversion takes place by nitrifying bacteria present in leguminous plants.

Animals (herbivores) consume the plants that have absorbed nitrogen/

When these animals die, decomposing bacteria acts on the dead organic matter, decomposition takes place through ammonification, converting the organic nitrates into ammonia

The nitrates are converted back again to nitrogen by the action of denitrifying bacteria.  

The nitrogen thus formed is released to the atmosphere
