Bacteria are important in the soil to maintain the nitrogen cycle. Certain type of bacterais help in nitrogen fixation. They also decompose dead and decaying matter into nitrogen compounds such as ammonia. The nitrogen and nitrogenous compounds in turm help the plant to grow.

When the plant dies, the bacteria again decomposes it into nitrogenous compounds. Not only plants, but also animals. The nitrogen then passes through various stages and then gets back to atmospheric nitrogen. Bacteria is an important part of this nitrogen cycle.

What term is used to describe bacterial cells that can naturally take up dna from their environment?

Maru [420]

<h2>The correct answer is: Competent cells</h2>

Explanation:

Bacterial cells have the capability of incorporating foreign naked DNA or deoxyribonucleic acid fragments from the environment or the exterior of the cell to the interior of the cell. This process is known as Transformation.
The bacterial cells which are able to undergo transformation are called Competent bacterial cells.
Some of the bacterial cells are naturally competent like Bacillus subtilis, Streptocossus pneumoniae while others like Escherishia coli need to be chemically treated to make them artificially competent.
In natural competence, the foreign DNA from the cell exterior is incorporated into the cell interior through specific protein complexes present in the plasma membrane of the bacterial cells.
In artificial competence, the negative charge on foreign DNA is masked by positively charged calcium ions (so that it is not repelled by the negative charge of the lipid bilayer of the bacterial cell plasma membrane) and then small pores are created in the lipid bilayer of the plasma membrane of the bacterial cells by giving a heat shock to the cells. This results in the uptake of the DNA by the bacterial cells.

Describe what happens as a plant's turgor pressure increases and decrease AS MUCH POINTS AS I CAN GIVE

Dimas [21]

Answer:

Brainliest pls

Explanation:

Turgor pressure in plants. Turgor pressure within cells is regulated by osmosis and this also causes the cell wall to expand during growth. Along with size, rigidity of the cell is also caused by turgor pressure; a lower pressure results in a wilted cell or plant structure (i.e. leaf, stalk).

Turgor pressure in plants plays a key role in processes such as growth, development, mechanical support, signalling, flowering and stress response. Turgor pressure is an ideal means in plant cells through which the energy content of water molecules (water potential) can be adjusted quickly, within seconds.

A nursing infant is able to obtain disease fighting antibodies, which are LARGE MOLECULES, from its mother's milk. These molecul

siniylev [52]

Answer:

The correct answer is - option C. endocytosis.

Explanation:

Endocytosis is the transfer process of large molecules from the outside of the cells by internalizing them or engulfing them in vesicles, it is possible by invagination of the surface of the cell to form vesicles.

In an infant, the antibodies like large molecules from the mother to the baby are transferred through the Mother's milk which is entered in the baby's digestive tract via Endocytosis
