The right answer is B) atmospheric nitrogen→bacteria→plants→animals.

The nitrogen cycle is as follows:

1. Fixation:

Nitrogen gas is transformed into mineral compounds by Cyanophyceae (Anaebaena, Nestoc, Phormidium) or bacteria (Azotobacter, Clostridium, Desulfovibrio). This phenomenon only affects primitive organisms.

2. Assimilation:

The assimilation of nitrogen in the cycle consists in transforming mineral compounds into organic matter (by autotrophic organisms, ie plants) or organic matter into other organic matter (by heterotrophs, it is to say the animals). This process is what is called protein synthesis. Thus, a vegetarian will turn vegetable proteins into animal proteins, which carnivores will feed on to make other proteins. Only plants (which include bacteria) are able to synthesize proteins from mineral elements, which is why plants can be grown with a nutrient solution containing only mineral salts. it would be futile to undertake with an animal.

3. Excretion:

It is the emission of non-assimilated organic matter, because it is not digestible, and of smaller molecules, resulting from the more or less complete degradation of the organic matter, such as ammonia (amphibians of larval form, bacteria, aquatic invertebrates and vertebrates), urea (adult amphibians and terrestrial vertebrates), or in its acid form uric acid (terrestrial reptiles and birds).

4. Ammonification:

The molecules resulting from metabolism and present in the medium after excretion are decomposed into ammonia (a mineral form of nitrogen) by bacteria (Achromobacter, Bacillus, Clostridium, Corynebacterium, Flavobacterium, Nitrococcus, Proteus, Pseudomonas, Sarratia).

5. Nitrification:

It is the succession of two processes: nitritation, which leads ammonium ions to oxidize to nitrites by bacteria (Nitrosomonas, Nitrosococcus, Nitrospira) and nitration, which converts nitrite to nitrate by bacteria also (Nitrobacter) .

6. Denitrification:

Reverse process of the previous one, leading to the reduction of nitrates to nitrites and eventually to dinitrogen or ammonia and carried out thanks to denitrifying bacteria (Azotobacter, Arthrobacter, Bacillus, Pseudomonas, Thiobacillus)

a researcher wishes to know whether there is a significant difference in the number of knee injuries reported among four sports.
boyakko [2]

Answer:

Chi-square analysis cannot be used to check for significant difference in the number of knee injuries among four sports.

Explanation:

The chi-square analysis is a statistical procedure that is used to test association between measured variables or goodness of fits of a set of measured variables to expected outcomes.

<em>In the case of testing for significant difference, chi-square analysis cannot be used as testing for significant difference in two or more means requires using t-test, analysis of variance, or any other relevant statistical procedure.</em>

To compare number of knee injuries reported among four sports for significant difference, the most suitable statistical procedure would be analysis of variance.
