Nitrogen Cycle steps:

N molecules breaking apart via nitrogen-fixing bacteria.

Animals ingest nitrogen in nitrate-containing food after plants use nitrogen-containing compounds.

The organic matter decays via decomposers

N2 is formed via denitrifying bacteria.

Explanation:

The nitrogen-fixing bacteria removes atmospheric nitrogen by fixing nitrogen through nitrification. The atmospheric nitrogen cannot be absorbed by plants and hence has to be converted into nitrates. This conversion takes place by nitrifying bacteria present in leguminous plants.

Animals (herbivores) consume the plants that have absorbed nitrogen/

When these animals die, decomposing bacteria acts on the dead organic matter, decomposition takes place through ammonification, converting the organic nitrates into ammonia

The nitrates are converted back again to nitrogen by the action of denitrifying bacteria.  

The nitrogen thus formed is released to the atmosphere

When trying to determine the rate of cellular respiration (an aerobic process), why is oxygen measured and not carbon dioxide
dusya [7]

Since both aerobic and anaerobic processes can result in the production of CO2, we couldn't be certain that cellular respiration was occurring.

Carbon dioxide:

Carbon dioxide is released during cellular respiration as a waste product. Cells that are capable of photosynthesis can utilize this carbon dioxide to create new carbohydrates. Additionally, oxygen gas is necessary to act as an electron acceptor during the process of cellular respiration.

There are two types of cellular respiration: aerobic (occurring when oxygen is present) and anaerobic (in absence of oxygen).

Now, carbon dioxide is emitted as a byproduct in both types of respiration.

Therefore, determining the rate of aerobic cellular respiration by measuring the amount of carbon dioxide emitted is impossible.

Therefore, to obtain the precise rate, we monitor oxygen rather than carbon dioxide.

Therefore, the correct response is that CO2 is created during both aerobic and anaerobic processes; we were unable to confirm if cellular respiration was occurring.

A solution of chloroform (CHCl3) and acetone((CH3)2CO) exhibits a negative deviation from Raoult's law. This result implies that
Korolek [52]

Answer:

The answer is W. chloroform-chloroform and acetone-acetone interactions are stronger than chloroform-acetone interactions. This is because the bond between acetone-acetone is a dipole-dipole interactions and chloroform-chloroform dipole-dipole compared to the weaker hydrogen-bonding between acetone-chloroform.

It turns out that this hydrogen-bonding happens to be stronger the original dipole-dipole forces, so this shows NEGATIVE DEVIATION from Raoult's law.

True or false? Populations within ecosystems live in harmony and do not compete with each other.
Rainbow [258]
False in order for an ecosystem to survive there has to be some sort of competition. for example, if there were no sharks to eat little fish the little fish would over populate and then the little fish would run out of food which then means that whatever the little fish ate is now extinct and so on hinting the food chain's name. If it wasn't for competition nothing would survive

If 2 atoms of gold have the same properties, does an electron have the same properties of gold
klasskru [66]

Place mercury in the reactor. After a large amount of work, only a tiny portion of gold is created.

Decontaminate the resulting gold. This is harder than it sounds because you can't separate out non-radioactive gold from radioactive gold using purely chemical methods.

It should be obvious from this process that it currently costs much more money to create non-radioactive gold than you could ever earn by selling the gold. Creating gold from other elements is currently an expensive laboratory experiment and not a viable commercial activity. Perhaps technology will improve enough in the future to make creation of gold in nuclear reactors a profitable economic enterprise.
