Answer:

The correct answer would be "to convert free nitrogen into usable nitrogen".

Symbiotic bacteria such as Rhizobium live in the roots of the plants like soybean and peas help in the process of biological nitrogen fixation.

It is the process by which bacteria convert the atmospheric nitrogen to the form which can be used easily by the plants. In return, they get energy-producing nutrients such as glucose.

The reaction is usually catalyzed by the enzyme nitrogenase.

The chemical reaction can be written as:

N₂ + 16ATP + 8e⁻ + 8H⁺ → 2NH₃ + H₂ + 16ADP + 16Pi

Which of the following is a true statement about lava that contains large amounts of dissolved gases? Lava that produces violent
anygoal [31]

<u>Answer:</u>

<em>The dissolved gases produce violent eruption as they escape. </em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

Magma contains dissolved gases and these dissolved gases induce vapor <em>pressure on the magma.</em> The magma is able to remain in the dissolved state itself without erupting because this vapor pressure is less than the confining pressure of the <em>rock surrounding the magma. </em>

One the vapor pressure exceeds this confining pressure the dissolved gases begin to  expand and<em> forms small gas bubbles</em>.

The <em>density of these gas bubbles</em> called vesicles is less than the density of magma and thus naturally tries to push out. When the gas bubbles escape the magma is also pushed out. Thus greater <em>amount of dissolved gases result in violent eruptions. </em>

Which explanation below best describes why meiosis produces haploid cells?
Agata [3.3K]

Answer:

Egg and sperm cells have to have half the number of chromosomes as in  body cells so when they combine to form a zygote, the zygote is diploid  and has the correct number of chromosomes. This explanation describes why meiosis produces haploid cells.

Explanation:

Meiosis is a type of cell division in which four haploid cells are produced from a diploid parent cell having two copies of each chromosome, where the number of chromosomes in the parent cell is reduced to half by undergoing DNA replication and nuclear division. Diploid cell contains two copies of each chromosome, one inherited from mother and the other from father while haploid cell contains only one copy of each chromosome. Examples of diploid cells (somatic cells) are skin, blood, muscle cells etc. Eggs or ovum (female gametes) and sperm (male gametes) are haploid reproductive cells. If the total number of chromosomes in a diploid cell is represented as '2n', then the number of chromosomes in a haploid cell is 'n'.  During the fertilization process in an organism, the correct number of chromosomes is restored when the haploid male and female gamete combined to form a single diploid zygote, which is the first developmental stage of an organism.

What is digestion and how does it work
slamgirl [31]

Answer:

Digestion is the breakdown of large insoluble food molecules into small water-soluble food molecules so that they can be absorbed into the watery blood plasma. In certain organisms, these smaller substances are absorbed through the small intestine into the blood stream.

Explanation:

Digestion works by moving food through the GI tract. Digestion begins in the mouth with chewing and ends in the small intestine. As food passes through the GI tract, it mixes with digestive juices, causing large molecules of food to break down into smaller molecules. The body then absorbs these smaller molecules through the walls of the small intestine into the bloodstream, which delivers them to the rest of the body. Waste products of digestion pass through the large intestine and out of the body as a solid matter called stool.
