t and a hydrophobic environment. When added to a mixture of oil and water, the pigment creates a blue ring around the droplets of oil. Which of the following statements best describes this new pigment?
A. The pigment is amphipathic, having polar and nonpolar regions.
B. The pigment is probably hydrophobic and is attempting to bond with the oil.

tiny-mole [99]
Nummular is a term to describe a lesion size. Nummular size is about a coin size, or 3cm x 5cm. Other sizes could be miliar which was about a dot, lenticular which was around a lentil, and plaque which sizes around a palm of the hand. This size description is not really descriptive since it has various ranges. Actual size in centimeter unit might be better to describe a lesion.

If poorly drained soils encourage the growth of bacteria that convert nitrate to nitrogen, the effect on higher plants will be t
3241004551 [841]

Answer:(B) decrease protein production

Explanation: nitrogen gas in the atmosphere is the source of nitrogen which is useful to plants.

In the nitrogen cycle, nitrogen gas is converted to it's compounds and then back to it's gas form.

The nitrogenous cycle involves fixation, mineralization, nitrification and denitrification .

In the first three states, nitrogen undergoes changes into a state where it can be absorbed by plants.

In denitrification,nitrates (useful form of nitrogen) are converted into gaseous nitrogen.organisms involved in this process are called denitrifying bacteria eg Pseudomonads sp.

Nitrogen is an important element.

It is useful for the production of protein, DNA, RNA and chlorophyll.

When it is deficient in the soil,it affects the synthesis of proteins and yellowing of leaves due to decrease in chlorophyll
