Denitrification is the major process involved in converting nitrogen components present in the nitrogen gas and it is released into the atmosphere.
<u>EXPLANATION: </u>
With the help of the nitrogen cycle, the nitrogen that enters living things by nitrogen fixation is converted back into nitrogen and is released in the atmosphere by microbes.
The nitrogen-fixing bacteria converts the nitrogen contents into ammonia by the process called ammonification. Then it oxidizes ammonia to nitrite by the process called nitrification and these nitrates are absorbed by plants.
Then, the bacteria present in the soil convert nitrate back to nitrogen gas which is released back to the atmosphere.
Answer:
8 possible combinations
Explanation:
In a diploid organism (2n), there are two sets of chromosomes in each cell. Each set of chromosome is contributed by each parent i.e one set of chromosome from the father and one set from the mother.
To determine the number of possible combinations in each gamete of a cell, we use the formula 2^n, where n = number of chromosomes in haploid gametes. In this case, the cell contains 3 pairs of chromosomes, meaning that each gamete will have 3 chromosomes. However, there will be 2³ = 8 possible combinations of chromosomes in each gametes.
Answer:
Option-C
Explanation:
Habitat fragmentation is a process during which large habitat is fragmented in smaller habitats by man-made activities. Habitat fragmentation is a very harmful process as it is one of the major factors for the loss of biodiversity in the ecosystem.
Due to division of the larger habitat into the smaller fragments, the population present in the smaller area are more susceptible to extinction as they will not interbreed with the individuals of the population stuck in another small habitat.
Thus, Option-C is correct.
Answer:
A. From the capsule to the larger cup
Explanation:
Solvent movement occurs from region of higher concentration to that of its lower concentration. In the given example, the liquid capsule has higher solvent concentration since it does not have solute. Presence of solute in larger cup makes it hypertonic solution with respect to the liquid inside cup. Hence, solvent will move from hypotonic solution (liquid in capsule) to hypertonic solution.
