Correct Answer:
Option A

Explanation:
Nitrogen fixation means converting the atmospheric nitrogen to Ammonia or to other compounds which can be readily used by other organisms. As stated in the question, the nitrogen available in the atmosphere is inert, so it must be converted into a form so that the organisms can use it. The bacteria responsible for this activity are known as Nitrogen Fixing Bacteria and are an important element of the ecosystem. Some of these Nitrogen fixing bacteria live freely in the soil while some are associated with the crops. Some examples of Nitrogen fixing bacteria are Rhizobium and Azospirillum.

What happens if you don't get your wisdom teeth out?
Blababa [14]
Some wisdom teeth is completely unharmful, as long as your mouth have enough space for it to grow healthy and you are sure that you can clean it properly, they make no problems.

However, if your mouth is too small, wisdoms teeth may grow in a tilted angle, this is big problem indeed. It may cause damage to other teeth since it doesn't grow upright. In addition, it may be a big problem to clean it properly so tooth decay may occur.

Therefore, it's better to visit the dentist and see if your wisdom teeth cause problem and whether you need to remove them or not.

Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

The culture might not be stained properly or the culture might be too old.

Explanation:

Gram staining is done to differentiate between gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria according to the difference in their cell wall. In gram staining, the gram-positive bacteria appears violet and gram-negative bacteria appear pink in color.

Therefore if a pure culture contains have both red and purple cocci that it can be concluded that the gram stating was not done properly like too much destaining was done or too much safranin was used or maybe the culture is too old so that cell wall of some bacteria degrades.
