Biology

Answer:

Little increase in cell number

Explanation:

There are four distinct phases in the bacterial growth curves that is lag, log, stationary and death phase. The lag phase of the bacterial growth curve is characterized by very little increase in the cell number.

The growth rate of bacteria in the lag phase is slow because the medium is new to the bacterial culture and it requires time for bacteria have to adapt to the new cultural environment and to synthesize enzymes required for substrate utilization.  

After getting adapt in their new environment bacteria starts to grow at an exponential rate. So little increase in cell number characterizes the lag phase.

Triss [41]

Answer:A) Nitrogen

Explanation: nitrogen cycle ensures the movement of nutrients through the biosphere.it ensures that nitrogen is constantly reused and made available.

Nitrogen gas is available in the atmosphere but plants and animals cannot use it in that form.it must be converted to compounds such as ammonia or nitrate.

It is gotten from the atmosphere during rainfalls where it Is broken down and combines with oxygen to from nitrogen peroxide.

Nitrogen can also be fixated into ammonia by saprophytic bacteria.

Also when plants die their body tissues are broken down to form ammonia.ammonia can be oxidized into nitrates and nitrite which plants can use.

Nitrites can be released back into the atmosphere through denitrifying bacteria and the cycle continues.
