Difference between nitrification and dentrification
Explanation:
Nitrification and denitrification are part of the nitrogen cycle
Nitrification is the process of conversion of ammonium to nitrate by nitrifying bacteria like Nitrobacter and Nitrosomonas
Denitrification is the process of reduction of nitrate to nitrogen gas by denitrifying bacteria like Pseudomonos, Lactobacillus etc.
Nitrifying bacteria are autotrophs and grows slowly and need aerobic condition. Denitrifying bacteria are hetertrophs and grows rapidly and need anaerobic conditions.
Nitrification requires a pH of about 6.5 to 8.0; denitrification takes place at 7.0 to 8.5
Nitrification provides soluble nitrates readily available in the soil to be easily absorbed by the roots.
Denitrification processes are used in wastewater or effluent treatment plants.
The process is decomposition.
Decomposition is a process by which organic substances, like leaves, are broken down into simpler matter. A lot of different types of organisms, called the decomposers, will consume the organic substances(like dead plants, dead animals) and continue an essential part of the nutrient cycle. This is important for recycling the organic matter that occupies space in the biosphere.
The correct answer is B.
Channels and pumps are transmembrane proteins that create hydrophilic tunnels across the membrane. This allows molecules to be diffused through them. The channels and pumps are highly selective and only allow the diffusion of specific molecules. The channel's structure blocks the contact of the molecule with the head and tail of the phospholipids that form the membrane. As we said, the channels and pumps are proteins, so they are formed by amino acids. Therefore, the molecules passing through channels and pumps, only come in contact with the amino acids.
1. They have intercellular spaces between them
2. They have thin walls
