Answer:
Bacteria that metabolize NO2- to give rise to NH4+ belongs to the family of denitrifying bacteria and nitrate ammonification bacteria such as pseudomonas.
Explanation:
Denitrifying bacteria uses NO2- as electron aceeptor thus converting the nitrite ion (NO2-) to ammonium ion(NH4+).
a) The above reaction is a reduction reaction because NO2- or nitrite ion accept electron to generated its reduced form known as ammonium(NH4+).
b) NO2- acting as electron acceptor in this reaction.
Answer:
Part A: The process of sexual reproduction is important because by this process organisms with varied genetic characteristics can be formed. Crossing over and independent assortment allow individuals to be born which are not alike to another and their parents. As a result, genetic diversity is produced.
Part B:
The process 1 is meiosis. The process 3 is development by mitosis.
The reproductive organs form sperm and egg by the process of meiosis. During this process, the number of chromosomes is reduced so that the number of chromosomes of an individual can be maintained.
The zygote converts into an embryo in a process called germinal development. The zygote replicates by mitosis to form into an embryo.
