Nitrogen fixation is a process in which nitrogen (N2) in the Earth's atmosphere is converted into ammonia (NH3). Atmospheric nitrogen or molecular dinitrogen (N2) is relatively inert: it does not easily react with other chemicals to form new compounds.
I believe the term is prophage.
Answer:
1. When the number of calories a person consumes is equal to the number of calories he or she burns in a day, that person's body is in Energy Balance.
2. Someone who is in Positive Energy Balance eats more calories in a day than he or she bums.
3. Negative Energy Balance occurs when the number of calories a person bums in a day is greater than the amount he or she consumes.
4. Weight management involves applying strategies that allow someone to keep his or her body weight within a healthy.
5. The Basal metabolic rate is the amount of energy uses in order to perform its basic physiological functions.
6. The Thermic effect of food refers to the number of calories burned in order to digest absorb, metabolze, and store food.
7. The Lean body mass refers to his or her total body - fat mass.
Explanation:
This group of statements are related to body weight, the balance between the energy we consume through food and all the energy we burn through excercise and different activities, such as only mantaining our body temperature and normal processes.
Answer:
it's called taxonomy or binomial nomenclature
the first name is generic (from genus) and begins with a capital letter
the second name is specific (from species) and begins with a small letter
The major function of the contractile vacuole of amoeba is osmoregulation. The solute concentration found in the cell of amoeba's cytoplasm is more than the solute concentration in the freshwater that surround the external part of the organism, thus, water enter the cell through osmosis. The contractile vacuole collect the excess water and expel it through an opening in the cell membrane. By doing this, the contractile vacuole maintains the water balance in amoeba. This how the contractile vacuole normally operate.
In a situation where amoeba is placed in seawater, then water from the cell cytoplasm will rush out of amoeba cell, because of the higher salt content of the surrounding medium. The contractile vacuole will respond to the situation by increasing its contraction and pumping water out the cell in an accelerated manner, this will lead to the shrinking of the cell.
