Answer:

Option D, is composed of a fluid bilayer of phospholipids with embedded amphipathic proteins

Explanation:

The fluid mosaic model is the depiction of plasma membrane whose main components are phospholipids, cholesterol, proteins, and carbohydrates.  

The structure of plasma membrane consists of two layers of phospholipid molecules which are amphipathic or amphipathic (they possess both polar hydrophilic and non-polar hydrophobic ends).  

Protein molecules also possess both polar and non-polar side chains. However, their poly hydrophilic linkages are towards the outer side and non-polar or hydrophobic linkage is towards the inner side.  

Option D is correct

How is atmospheric nitrogen converted into a biologically useful form of nitrogen?
frutty [35]

Answer:

The atmosphere is the largest reservoir of the nitrogen as it is composed of 78% of Nitrogen. Although 78%, this is not used by the organisms directly as the nitrogen molecule exists in nature in the form of divalent joined via triple bonds.

These triple bonds require a great amount of energy to be broken and used. Only a few prokaryotic organisms called nitrogen-fixing bacteria have the capability to break these triple bonds as they contain enzymes-nitrogenase complex which converts the atmospheric nitrogen to usable forms like ammonia, nitrates and nitrites. About 92% of the atmospheric nitrogen is fixed through this way rest through thunderstorms and Haber's process.

Thus, nitrogen-fixing bacteria is the answer.
