Answer:

B. Interphase is the last stage before exiting the cell cycle

Explanation:

Interphase is the portion of the cell cycle where a cell spends the most time of its life. During the interphase, the cell grows and functions normally (i.e., G1 phase), its DNA is replicated (i.e., S phase), and the cell prepares to enter into mitosis (i.e., G2 phase). In adult mammal cells, for example, the interphase accounts or approximately 90%-95% of the cell cycle. Nonetheless, it is important to highlight that the duration of the interphase depends on both the cell type and the organism in which it happens.

What process is used to take atmospheric nitrogen and turn it into nitrates?

andre [41]

Answer:

Nitrogen fixation

Explanation:

Certain soil bacteria, e.g., Azobacter spp can combine free nitrogen of the atmosphere with oxygen to form nitrates. This is called nitrogen fixation. Other nitrogen-fixing bacteria such as Rhizobium form symbiotic unions with the roots of leguminous plants called root nodules. They fix nitrogen to form nitrates which are used up by the host plant. Nitrifying soil bacteria, e.g., Nitrobacter convert nitrites to nitrates in a process called nitrification.
