Nitrogen is very important for plants growth. Nitrogen fixation is the process by which atmospheric nitrogen is assimilated into organic compounds especially by microbes. Nitrogen fixation can be carried out by bacteria and lighting. The vast amount of energy in lightening decompose nitrogen molecules and enables the nitrogen atoms to combine with oxygen in the air forming nitrogen oxides. These oxides dissolve in the rain to form nitrates which are carried into the soil. The percentage of nitrogen fixed by this method is between 5%- 8% of all nitrogen fixed.

How do the particles move in active transport?
ella [17]

In active transport particles move by making use of energy in the form of ATP.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Unlike in passive transport particles have to move against the concentration gradient in active transport. Thus particles require energy to do so and this energy is in the form of ATP. Osmosis and simple diffusion are examples of passive transport where substances move from a region of high concentration to a region of low concentration.

This movement is down the concentration gradient. In active transport particles move from a region of low concentration to a region of high concentration which is against the concentration gradient. Active transport is of two types.

In the first type called primary active transport energy is directly used in the form of ATP. In the second type called secondary active transport an electrochemical gradient created by ATP is used to facilitate the transport.

Answer:

Relative age only tells us the order in which events occurred, from the earliest to the most recent. Knowing the actual date of an event allows us to say exactly how old something is or how long ago it actually took place.

What is Electron Transport?
Murljashka [212]

Answer:The electron transport chain is a series of complexes that transfer electrons from electron donors to electron acceptors via redox reactions, and couples this electron transfer with the transfer of protons across a membrane. The electron transport chain is built up of peptides, enzymes, and other molecules
