Answer:
In addition to dinitrogen, other inorganic and organic forms exist in the soil as well. It makes up 78 percent of the atmosphere but <u>cannot be used by plants. </u>It is taken into the soil by bacteria, some algae, lightning, and other means.
Explanation:
Answer:
65/118
Explanation:
Because there is a total of 118 in the bag and only 65 are gum drop
The amount of the 30 gram-sample that will remain after 270 years is 6.61 grams
<h3>How to determine the number of half-lives </h3>
We'll begin by obtaining the number of half lives that has elapsed. This can be obtained as follow:
- Half-life (t½) = 96 years
- Time (t) = 270 years
- Number of half-lives (n) =?
n = t / t½
n = 270 / 99
n = 2.8125
<h3>How to determine the amount remaining </h3>
- Original amount (N₀) = 30 grams
- Number of half-lives (n) = 2.8125
- Amount remaining (N) =?
The amount remaing can be obtained as follow:
N = N₀ / 2^n
N = 30 / 2^2.8125
N = 6.61 grams

<h2>Scurvy </h2>
Explanation:
(a) Collagen is the major structural component of cartilage,bones and tendons
- The basic unit of collagen is tropocollagen and each tropocollagen consists of three coiled left handed polypeptide chains called α chains
- Generally each α chain consists of a repeating tripeptide sequence called: G-X-Y
- Here G represents glycine; X represents proline and Y represents hydroxyproline
- Rigidity of collagen molecule is due to presence of proline and hydroxyproline
- Hydroxylation of proline is catalysed by prolyl hydroxylase enzyme which use ascorbate,α ketoglutarate and oxygen
- α ketoglutarate is oxidatively decarboxylated to form carbon dioxide and succinate
- Sequence of events leading from a dietary vitamin C deficiency to symptoms such as bruising and breakdown of supporting tissues includes: tissue levels of ascorbic acid is low; enzyme prolyl hydroxylase is inactive; proline is not hydroxylated; the triple helix is inadequately stabilized; collagen breaks down; defects in tissues that depend on collagen
; tissues that depend on collagen are subject to breakdown and bruising
(b) Sailors are no longer susceptible to scurvy because fresh fruits which are the source of vitamin C source are available now
British sailors called "limeys" to this day,this term reflects the British navy's use of limes
