Answer:

E. are found in nitrogen-fixing cyanobacteria AND are used to protect nitrogenase.

Explanation:

Heterocysts are specialized cellular compartments found in nitrogen fixing cyanobacteria. They provide the ideal anaerobic environment for nitrogen fixation since nitrogenase enzyme cant work in presence of oxygen. Hence, in a cyanobacteria both the oxygen requiring photosynthesis process and the  oxygen sensitive nitrogen fixation process takes place simultaneously.

Heterocysts have an additional cell wall made of glycolipid that provides a hydrophobic barrier to oxygen. They are involved in production of nitrogenase and other proteins that are required for nitrogen fixation. They also degrade photosystem II which is responsible for producing oxygen and produce proteins which remove any remaining oxygen.

Identify two cell structures involved in modifying and transporting proteins out of the cell. Structure:
Ede4ka [16]

6 & 7

Structure 6 is the Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum ( RER) while structure 7 is the Golgi apparatus.

Explanation:

The RER has ribosomes aligning its outer membrane (reason why it's referred to as called rough ER). The ribosomes manufacture polypeptide chains that enter the lumen of the RER. The polypeptide chains are properly folded using chaperones in the lumen of the RER and undergo post-translation modifications, These proteins then undergo Quality Control checks and the proper ones are allowed to proceed to the Golgi apparatus.

Proteins from the RER reach the Golgi apparatus through vesicles that bud off of the <em>trans</em> side of the RER then fuse with the <em>cis </em>side of the Golgi apparatus. The Golgi perform a few more modifications to the proteins  including tagging them for delivery , then packages them. Vesicles carrying the proteins bud off of the <em>trans</em> side of the Golgi and get transported to their destination inside or outside the cell.

valentinak56 [21]
Nitrogen is an essential nutrient for plant growth. But farmers who cultivate pulse crops like green gram, bengal gram,black gram, etc. do not apply nitrogenous fertilizers during cultivation because of following reason
1. Leguminous plants like green gram, bengal gram,black gram contain nitrogen fixing RHIZOBIUM  bacteria which convert nitrogen gas of air into nitrogen compounds which can be used by plants for their compounds

2. The nitrogen fixing Rhizohium bacteria live in the root nodules of leguminous plants.

What kind of bond is formed when one atom steals an electron from another atom
Delicious77 [7]
Ionic bonds <span>are the type of bonds where there is </span>transfer<span> of electrons from one atom to another.  The electrons are removed and from one atom and attached to  another. A good example is salt which is composed of sodium and chlorine. Sodium readily loses one of its electrons and chlorine readily accepts it. Before losing the electron, sodium has a positive charge, but then becomes negatively charged after giving up the electron. Chlorine has a positive charge before gaining the electron but becomes negatively charged after gaining the electron. These opposite charges between sodium and chlorine attract the two elements together to form the ionic bond.</span>
