Answer:

The answer is Trichodesmium is an important source of usable nitrogen in the nutrient-poor waters and represents almost half of the nitrogen fixation in marine systems.

Explanation:

Nitrogen fixation is the process of converting atmospheric diatomic nitrogen into biologically usable forms of nitrogen, such as ammonium oxides and nitrogen. Trichodesmium is the only known diazotropic capable of fixing nitrogen in daylight in aerobic conditions, being the main diazotropic in marine pelagic systems and an important source of usable nitrogen in the nutrient-poor waters where it lives. Trichodesmium fixes nitrogen on a scale that represents almost half of the nitrogen fixation in marine systems worldwide.

Which of the following explains why water is a good solvent for polar and ionic compounds?
Anni [7]

Hi there!

<u>Electronegativity</u> is the concept of how likely an atom is to attract the shared molecules in one of these bonds to itself. We know the molecule water is made up of two hydrogens and one oxygen. The electronegativity of hydrogen is 2.2, and oxygen 3.4. An <u>ionic bond</u> needs at least a difference in electronegativity of 1.6. As the difference is less than that, we can say that water is a covalent molecule. This then wipes out choice B, because it is not ionic, and C, as we have seen it is actually covalent.

Now, we can see the difference in electronegativity between oxygen and hydrogen is still 1.2. This means that while it is not at the point for there to be an ionic bond, there is still a difference in attraction, where the electrons will tend to favor the oxygen more and 'hang around it' more. As electrons are <u>negatively charged</u><em><u>,</u></em> this means that the oxygen will gain a slightly negative charge. This then makes the molecule polar, because it now has a charge within the molecule. This means we have our answer, choice D.

In terms of hydrophobic molecules - they tend to be ones without a charge. (If you're interested in this kind of stuff, I'd search hydrophobic up, and possibly also look into hydrogen bonds).

Hope this helps! Feel free to ask me any other questions you have about this specific problem.

Explanation:

Autism  Spectrum  Disorder  is developmental dysfunction that leads to notable social, communication, and behavioral challenges.

Operant speech training is a plan employed to make children makes use of language appropriately, it is mostly used for aiding speech in Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).

This approach involved the step by step procedures of increasing  child’s vocalization, imitation of sounds and words, teaching the child the meanings of words, and  teaching the child. how to use language to label objects. And how to express languages to make verbal requests and desires
