The nitrogen cycle is most directly dependent upon-

Biology
1 answer:
vovangra [49]3 years ago
5 0

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.

The lactose repressor protein ________. a. is transcribed with the structural lac genes b. is activated by binding lactose c. is
cluponka [151]

Answer:

c. is inactivated by binding lactose

Explanation:

Lactose is a sugar mostly present in milk or dairy products. It is degraded in the body by an enzyme called LACTASE. Since lactase is an enzyme (protein), it must be encoded by a structural gene (Lac gene). However, the expression of this structural gene can be inhibited by the absence of lactose.

Ideally, when lactose is present, it binds to a DNA binding protein called Lac repressor protein (inhibitor) causing the inhibitor protein to lose its shape and fall off, allowing transcription of the lac gene to occur. In other words, the presence of lactose deactivates the inhibitory function of lactose repressor protein.
