Answer:
The atmosphere is the largest reservoir of the nitrogen as it is composed of 78% of Nitrogen. Although 78%, this is not used by the organisms directly as the nitrogen molecule exists in nature in the form of divalent joined via triple bonds.
These triple bonds require a great amount of energy to be broken and used. Only a few prokaryotic organisms called nitrogen-fixing bacteria have the capability to break these triple bonds as they contain enzymes-nitrogenase complex which converts the atmospheric nitrogen to usable forms like ammonia, nitrates and nitrites. About 92% of the atmospheric nitrogen is fixed through this way rest through thunderstorms and Haber's process.
Thus, nitrogen-fixing bacteria is the answer.
Answer:
Watson and Crick proposed the double helical model of DNA.
Explanation:
- This model says that DNA exist as double helix. It has two polynucelotide strands running in opposite direction i.e the strands are anti-parallel.
- Each polynucleotide strand is made up of several nucleotide liknked together by phophodiester bonds.
- The two strands are not coiled upon each other but the double strand is coiled upon itself around a common axis like the spiral stair case. Here base pairs forms the stairs and backbone of two strands form railing. Back bone contains sugar and phosphate.
- The base pairing is specific, adenine always pairs with thymine and guanine always pairs with cytosine. Thus if we see any base pair, it consists of one purine and one pyrimidine.
- The two strands of DNA thus show complementary base pairing.
- The strands are held together because of hydrogen bonding between the bases in opposite strand.
- One full helical turn involves ten base pairs and the base pairs are stacked 3.4 A apart.
- This form is called as B-form of DNA.
Answer:
<u>The woodpeckers wouldn't have homes/shelters to keep themselves safe so they would slowly die out.</u>
Answer 2:
I'm pretty sure you can also say, <u>they would have to adapt to living in a new species of tree</u>
<u></u>
I hope this helped
It’s important because it helps maintain the soil especially if the soil has low organic matter.
Claim: Whales evolved from land mammals to water mammals.
Evidence: The first whales evolved over 50 million years. One of the first whales, such as Pakicetus, were land animals with long skulls and carnivorous teeth, much like many adaptable land mammals back then and today.
