Answer:

Plants require nitrogen to live, so plants in general depend on the nitrogen cycle and are a part of it. Explanation: Plants require nitrogen to live

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

Plants play a major role in the Nitrogen and Water cycles which involves how nitrogen and water is circulated between living organisms respectively in the environment. Plants need water for their life processes and they absorb groundwater via their root hairs which removes water from the environment. They help return back water (in form of vapor) when they lose water through the stomata on their leaves. This process in plants is called TRANSPIRATION. Therefore, via the processes of absorption and transpiration, plants influence the water cycle.

On the other hand, Nitrogen is an important component of structures that make up a plant e.g Chloroplast, Nucleic acids, amino acids etc. They get this nitrogen from the soil where it is absorbed via their roots in form of nitrates (a nitrogen compound usable by plant). When the plant dies, they are decomposed by microbes called decomposers e.g fungi, thereby, releasing the nitrogen back into the soil in form of ammonium, which is used up again in the nitrogen cycle. Therefore, plants influence the Nitrogen cycle when by absorbing it via their roots and releasing it back via decomposition.

Fatty acid metabolism disorder is an autosomal recessive disorder. Two unaffected parents have 6 children - all of whom are unaf

Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

There are only 2 possible genotypes for the mother, FF and Ff.

Explanation:

Because it is an autosomal inheritance, this case F will be the dominant allele and f the recessive allele, where f produces Fatty acid metabolism disorder. If the mother does not possess the disorder, she must possess at least one dominant allele for that specific gene. However, for the other allele, we cannot assure that it is dominant, since it can be recessive and not express itself either in her or in the offspring, because of the father we also only know his dominant allele.

Explain nutrient recycling and importance of water cycle

lakkis [162]

Answer:

The nutrient cycle describes the use, movement, and recycling of nutrients in the environment. Valuable elements such as carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, phosphorus, and nitrogen are essential to life and must be recycled in order for organisms to exist.

Regulatory and basal transcription factors regulate transcription by binding to the promoter.A) True B) False

Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

In eukaryotes apart from RNA polymerase, the transcription of genes requires many different proteins called transcription factors. These transcription factors are important to initiate and regulate transcription.

There are two types of transcription factors regulatory and basal transcription factors. Basal transcription factors regulate transcription by binding to a gene promoter and regulatory transcription factor regulates transcription by binding to some regulatory sequences for example enhancers and silencers.

Therefore only basal transcription factor binds to the promoter for regulating transcription. Therefore the statement is false.
