Scientific inquiry refers to the diverse ways in which scientists study the natural world and propose explanations based on the evidence derived from their work.
Answer:
When an organism excretes or dies, nitrogen is in the form of organic nitrogen in its tissues (e.g. amino acids, DNA). During the ammonification process, many fungi and prokaryotes then break the tissue down and release inorganic Nitrogen into the atmosphere as ammonia.
Explanation:
Plants use their roots for nitrogen compounds. When they consume the seeds, animals acquire certain chemicals. When plants and livestock die, or animals excrete waste, the organic nitrogen compounds return to the soil, where microorganisms known as decomposers break down their compounds.
During an influenza outbreak, many people get infected and die. However, part of the population acquires immunity and survives. This is due to variations in the genotype and phenotype among individuals in the population. Probably a particular phenotype confers resistance to influenza. Therefore, this population is able to grow and develop to maturity and reproduce. Their genes are therefore passed over to subsequent generations.
Answer:
C. "Using the sodium-potassium pump involves the hydrolysis of ATP and the
release of Nat to the outside of the cell."
Explanation:
The use of a sodium-potassium pump is a form of active transport, not diffusion. It also requires energy because the pump moves ions against their concentration gradient (low to high), unlike diffusion.
In prophase 1:
Chromosomes become visible, crossing-over occurs, the nucleolus disappears, the meiotic spindle forms, and the nuclear envelope disappears.
In metaphase 1:
The pairs of chromosomes (bivalents) become arranged on the metaphase plate and are attached to the now fully formed meiotic spindle. The centrioles are at opposite poles of the cell.
I hope my answer has come to your help. God bless and have a nice day ahead!
