The sentence that best explains why the native Australian dung beetles were not doing the job is "Cow dung is not part of any native Australian species niche." The beetles in Australia had formed alongside the kangaroos and wombats. When the cattle were brought to Australia in the 1880's by European settlers, the beetles were not used to the texture of the dung. It was much different and the dung was not decomposing. Native beetles were not using this dung as a feeding source. This left the cattle not feeding in the pasture because they won't eat near the dung. This reduced the cattle grazing land.

Summarize the nitrogen cycle and it’s importance of proteins and DNA
iren2701 [21]

Answer:

Nitrogen cycle works through various stages like, nitrogen fixation, nitrification, assimilation, ammonification, denitrification etc. It is a building block for protein and DNA

Explanation:

Nitrogen is an element abundantly found in the atmosphere, also its building block for proteins as well as nucleic acid i.e. DNA formation. In nitrogen cycle , the nitrogen is being prepared from inert nitrogen.  The nitrogen cycle has several processes like nitrogen fixation, in this the inert nitrogen is being converted to organic nitrogen with the help of certain micro-organism.

Nitrification, plants cannot absorb directly nitrogen so bacteria help the plants to convert the nitrogen into ammonia form in this stage. Assimilation, another stage in which plants starts absorbing various forms of nitrogen from the soil.i.e. nitrate, nitrite and ammonium. Ammonification, here plants and animals have nitrogen in there body after death various microbes help in decomposition in this stage. Denitrification, in this stage the return back of nitrogen takes place.
