Answer: mucilaginous sheath

Explanation:

These algae are known as "blue algae" because of their pigmentation or "cyanobacteria" because they are prokaryotes. Microbiologists classify cyanobacteria in the realm of Eubacteria. They are the only prokaryote algae. The cellular organization is prokaryotic, without nuclei or organelles. Respiration takes place at the level of plasmalemma and thylakoids. In the center (nucleoplasm), cells contain their genome and circular plasmids. Cyanobacteria often also have a mucilaginous sheath common to many trichomes.

These organisms contain several carotenoid pigments, particularly myxoxanthophyll, which does not occur in any other algae group. Some cyanobacteria are strictly phototrophic, others are optional: they are phototrophic when in the presence of light, but may grow in obscurity using an organic carbon source. Others can use a source of organic carbon as well as inorganic carbon, but only in the presence of light.

List the events of inspiration beginning with stimulation of the phrenic nerves
Andru [333]
The events of inspiration begins with the;
Impulses are conducted on the phrenic nerve to muscle fibers in the diaphragm contracting them.
As the dome shaped diaphragm moves downward the thoracic cavity expands.
At the same time the external intercostal muscles may contract raising the ribs and expanding the thoracic cavity further.

The bacteria can chemically combine nitrogen with hydrogen to form ammonia (NH3). This combining process is called nitrogen fixa
kifflom [539]

Bacteria

Explanation:

Nitrification fixation takes place by nitrogen-fixing bacteria like Azotobacter, Klebsiella, Bacillus etc which convert atmospheric nitrogen gas into fixed-nitrogen compounds like nitrates or ammonium ions for the plants to readily absorb.

The nitrogen fixing bacteria can be free-living like cyanobacteria or live with symbiotic relationship with plants and fungi.

The chemical conversion of di-nitrogen to ammonia takes place with the help of enzymes like nitrogenase in combination with leghahemoglobin, a protein through a reduction reaction.

Why is it important that we understand and are able to use the metric system?

• FAMILIARITY which is almost every nation excluding the united states has accepted the metric system as its official system of weight and measures. 

• UNIFORMITY which is scientists use the metric system so all experiments are conducted using the same weights and measures. 

• HISTORY which is the general session on weights and measures formally chosen six metric units to be used as international standards in 1954 and in 1960 and the meter was formally distinct established on the wavelength of light from krypton atoms.

• TYPES which is the metric system use meters for space, grams for mass, liters for volume and candelas for light.
