<span>Actually energy is the capacity to do work. It is not moving. It is transmitted, propagated, dissippated, or radiated. It depends upon what type of energy it is. Heat energy is dissippated through conduction, convection or radiation. For conduction the particles must be in contact. For convection the particles which posses the energy must ba able to move about. For radiation, even without a material medium the energy is transmitted in the form of waves. Eg. energy from the sun. When a stone is dropped in still water the energy is imparted to the water surface. This energy is distributed all over the water surface in the form of circular waves (ripples). Electrical energy - through conducting wires or electromagnetic radiation. Light energy & sound energy are through waves.</span>
Answer:
Firstly, the partial pressure of nitrogen (78%) is crucial to breathing purposes. Without this pressure, the lungs will burst and animals cannot survive.
Secondly, nitrogen is required for the formation of amino acids (building blocks of proteins) and other organic compounds that are necessary for the survival of living organisms. Principally, in the atmosphere, nitrogen is present in the form of molecular nitrogen (N2). N2 is fixed by nitrogen-fixing bacteria that form nitrates and nitrites. These molecules are then used in biochemical processes to produce proteins (amino acids) and other organic compounds. In the absence of nitrogen, these processes could become seize of limited significantly thus affecting life overall.
Thirdly, nitrogen and its derivatives act as greenhouse gases that maintain the Earth's temperature within a range that supports life. Yes, the increased abundance of nitrous oxides is not good because of acid rain and other issues, however, still, the presence of nitrogen is important for life on this planet.
Student 1’s methods would be more accurate, because the student would control more factors. Only one variable at a time (either temperature or acidity) would be tested on each group of worms. On the other hand, Student 2 is testing both factors on all the worms, which could make the results unclear.
