<u>Answer</u>: Continental rise.

<u>Explanation</u>:

  • The <em>continental rise</em> found underneath the ocean is a representative of the final stage in the boundary that exists between the lowest part of the ocean and the continents.
  • It is located between the <em>continental slope and the abyssal plain</em> and contains silts, sands, muds, and sediments.
  • It is a part of the continental margin which also contains the continental shelf and the continental slope.<em> This continental slope merges into a gradual incline which is the continental rise.</em>

The nitrogen cycle is most directly dependent upon-
vovangra [49]

Answer:

B) Nitrogen-fixing bacteria and lightning

Explanation:

Nitrogen cycle is the natural process in which atmospheric nitrogen is converted into nitrite and nitrate with the help of bacteria.

Nitrogen cycle is directly dependent on nitrogen-fixing bacteria and lightning.

As bacteria are responsible for most of the chemical conversion in the nitrogen cycle such as nitrogen fixation (first step) is done by soil bacteria (Cyanobacteria) that form ammonia, which is toxic to plants; nitrification in which ammonia is converted into nitrites and nitrates with the help of Nitrobacter and denitrification bacteria involve Pseudomonas, and Achromobacter which convert nitrite and nitrate into nitrogen.

The lightning breaks nitrogen molecules and allow  it to combine with oxygen in atmosphere which further dissolve in rain and form nitrates.

Hence, the nitrogen cycle is most directly dependent upon nitrogen-fixing bacteria and lightning and the correct option is B.

timofeeve [1]
The correct answers are a, c, d.
There are three types of capillaries: continuous, sinusoidal (or discontinuous) and fenestrated. Continuous capillaries are the most common type and they form tight junctions. Sinusoidal capillaries form an incomplete lining with several gaps, which allow red and white blood cells and some serum proteins to pass. These capillaries are mainly found in the bone marrow, lymph nodes and adrenal glands. Finally, fenestrated capillaries facilitate the movement of smaller molecules and plasma proteins and are mainly found in the small intestine. The majority of the fluid transport happens through the fenestrated capillaries.
