Answer:

A. Lightning

Explanation:

Nitrogen is very fundamental for a wide range of life activities in both plant and animals.

Lightning which accompanies thunder during rain storm and other weather phenomenon aids the release of atmospheric nitrogen for life processes. The energy that accompanies a lightning event is mostly electrical in nature. This electrical energy is huge and very massive. As the lightning interacts with free nitrogen molecules in the atmosphere, the molecule is broken down. The free nitrogen which results then combines with oxygen in the atmossphere to form oxides of nitrogen. When oxides of non-metals dissolves in rain water, they make the water rich in nitric acid and can be brought to the biosphere for use by plant and animals.

Is the Gram stain a useful tool for understanding the phylogeny of eubacteria? Explain why or why not.
natita [175]

Answer

Yes, Gran stain is a useful tool for unterstanding the phylogeny of eurobacteria.

Explanation

The Gram staining method is used to classify two broad groups: gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. This technique is widely used in clinical analysis and microbiology laboratories to monitor infections in pus smears or organic fluids.

In the Gran staining method, we subject the bacteria to dye treatments and, depending on the chemical composition of the cell wall of these bacteria, each one will react differently with the dyes and thus identify them by their biochemical characteristics.

What will happen if the blue whale gets extinct
Ghella [55]

Whales play an important part within the marine ecosystem, and if they were to disappear, the delicate balance of nature would be disrupted. According to Scitable, every time a whale dies, it leaves behind a carcass that provides food and vital nutrition for literally hundreds of marine life organisms. For instance, species of scavenger crustaceans and worms feast upon whale carcasses for sustenance.  

Other species of fish, including sharks, also obtain food from a whale carcass. Without this bountiful source of food, certain parts of the ocean would cease to thrive.

Living whales also heavily contribute to the marine ecosystem in the form of whale feces. According to the Columbia Basin Fish and Wildlife News, a study found that whale feces is filled with rich nutrients that include nitrogen, which stimulates the growth of plants. Organisms, such as plankton, that feed the ocean food chain also benefit from tons of whale feces floating on the ocean's surface. The disappearance of this source of natural nitrogen is likely to have a negative effect on plant and food production.

An overpopulation of sea lions would quickly be evident as soon as the whales that prey on them vanished. Likewise, the economies of Canada and the United States would suffer from a lack of tourist dollars because whale watching is very popular.
