Nitrogen Cycle steps:
N molecules breaking apart via nitrogen-fixing bacteria.
Animals ingest nitrogen in nitrate-containing food after plants use nitrogen-containing compounds.
The organic matter decays via decomposers
N2 is formed via denitrifying bacteria.
Explanation:
The nitrogen-fixing bacteria removes atmospheric nitrogen by fixing nitrogen through nitrification. The atmospheric nitrogen cannot be absorbed by plants and hence has to be converted into nitrates. This conversion takes place by nitrifying bacteria present in leguminous plants.
Animals (herbivores) consume the plants that have absorbed nitrogen/
When these animals die, decomposing bacteria acts on the dead organic matter, decomposition takes place through ammonification, converting the organic nitrates into ammonia
The nitrates are converted back again to nitrogen by the action of denitrifying bacteria.
The nitrogen thus formed is released to the atmosphere
Answer:
In conditions of low or no oxygen the process of anaerobic respiration occurs. The 'an' in 'anaerobic' means without. During anaerobic respiration, the oxidation of glucose is incomplete - not all of the energy can be released from the glucose molecule as it is only partially broken down.
Explanation:
Excitation-contraction coupling refers to the series of events that begins with the excitation of the sarcolemma in response to stimulation by a neurotransmitter, and results in the release of calcium ions from the sarcoplasmic reticulum.
Hence, option D is the 1st process that starts the excitation-contraction coupling.
Eukaryotes contain linear chromosomes and therefore require telomerase to prevent loss of the ends of the chromosomes
