1) they have similar chemical properties.
for example fluorine from the 17th column is a non metal so does all the elements of that group.
2)they have same valence electrons in their outermost shell
example
electronic configuration of
hydrogen 1, lithium 2,1, sodium 2,8,1 and so on.
3) have same valency.
Moment magnitude estimates the amount of energy an earthquake releases and is derived from the amount of displacement along FAULT.
The right answer is C
This process is called anaerobic respiration. It doesn't need dioxygen to occur (it can happen with or without O2).
Anaerobic respiration is a mechanism in which electrons pass through a chain of transporters whose final acceptor is a mineral substance other than oxygen, unlike aerobic respiration where the final acceptor is dioxygen. The final acceptor may be the nitrate ion (as in the case of Pseudomonas), carbon dioxyde or the sulfate ion.
Some bacteria (Pseudomonas) are able, anaerobically, to reduce nitrates to nitrites and then, depending on the case, to dinitrogen (with the enzyme Nitrate reductase A).
NO3- ==> NO2- ==> N2.
