Explain why nitrate fertilizers may not be suitable for application in soils with low redox potential

Biology
1 answer:
Iteru [2.4K]3 years ago
6 0

<u>Answer: </u>

Nitrate fertilizers may not be suitable for application in soils with low redox potential as there will be no required reduction takes place. Crops with excess nitrogen will affect the health of the consumer.

<u>Explanation: </u>

  • Redox potential (Reduction/Oxidation potential) is tendency of a chemical species to gain electrons from an electrode or loss electrons to electrode as a result of Oxidation or Reduction.
  • Nitrogen is an important element for 'plant growth and development', but due to pollution, high nitrate concentration accumulate in the edible part of the food product and particularly when 'excess nitrogen fertilizer' has been applied.
  • When the redox potential is very low then there is no any chance for nitrogen to get diluted which results in the excess of nitrogen content and so nitrate fertilizers may not be suitable for application in soil with low redox potential.
  • Selection of nitratae fertilizer compatetive to the soil is very important.

Why doesnt pepsin, the enzyme released in the stomach to
Fiesta28 [93]

Answer: unfavourable ph condition for the pepsin

Explanation: during digestion, enzymes are needed to aid the process.digestive enzymes are biological catalyst that breakdown large food particles into digestible form .

As biological catalyst, enzymes require an optimum temperature and pH condition.outside this temperature or pH,the enzyme is denatured.

In the stomach, hydrochloric acid is required to convert pepsinogen into it's active form,pepsin.the acid also creates an optimum low pH that pepsin needs to function.

As the food moves to the small intestine,the pH is alkaline and is unfavourable for pepsin to function.

Compared to bacteria cells,viruses are
sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

Viruses have to invade the body of a host organism in order to replicate their particles. Therefore, most viruses are pathogenic. The main difference between bacteria and virus is that bacteria are living cells, reproducing independently and viruses are nonliving particles, requiring a host cell for their replication.

hope this helps :)
