Compare the rate of human contributions to nitrogen fixation with the natural rate.

Biology

olganol [36]4 years ago

Answer:

Nitrogen fixation is the modification of nitrogen present in the atmosphere into a combined form (e.g ammonia) via chemical and some biological action (microbes like soil rhizobia).

Human processes, e.g fertilizers production and fossil fuels consumption, have majorly affected to a high amount the level of fixed nitrogen in the Earth's ecosystems. It is believed that the level of nitrogen fixed by human process will be much more than that fixed via microbial processes involving diazotrophs such bacteria as Azotobacter and archaea as effected by enzyme nitrogenases.

The rate amounting from nitrogen fixation is believed to be 140 teragrams (Tg) of nitrogen per year (1 teragram is equivalent to 1 million metric tons). This amount is very small when viewed to the level at which human factors or means of contribution increases nitrogen amount to the environment.

What are four elements that cycle through the ecosystem and why are they important
Tomtit [17]
"The term "biogeochemical," tells us that biological, geological and chemical factors are all involved. The circulation of chemical nutrients like carbon, oxygen, nitrogen, phosphorus, calcium, and water etc. through the biological and physical world are known as biogeochemical cycles. In effect, the element is recycled, although in some cycles there may be places (called reservoirs) where the element is accumulated or held for a long period of time (such as an ocean or lake for water)."

The genetic code was originally deciphered, in part, by experiments in which synthetic polynucleotides with repeating sequences
AveGali [126]

Answer: a peptide containing alternating arginines and alanines.

Explanation:

As the mRNA has a repeating unit of CGCG.

Now if we extend the units with more CG (CGCGCGCGCGCG) the pairing will be as CGC-GCG-CGC-GCG. and if we see the amino acids coded by these codons are arginine for CGC and alanine for GCG.

As this synthetic mRNA doesn't require any initiation codon (AUG) thus the polypeptide will not have methionine, which is the first amino acid in every polypeptide coded by the initiation codon.

Thus, the synthetic mRNA will code for peptide having alternating arginines and alanines amino acids.

The __________ nerve connects with the auditory nerve to relay information to the brain about balance.
Drupady [299]

1. The given blank can be filled with vestibular nerve.  

The vestibular nerve in humans conducts sensory information conducted by the vestibular hair cells situated in the utricle and the saccule, that is, the two otolith organs, and the three semicircular canals through the vestibular ganglion. It relays information to the brain about balance.  

2. The correct answer is option b, that is, the vestibular sense may be capable of sensory adaptation.  

The awareness of the movement and the balance of the body are controlled by the vestibular system. The vestibular senses, that is, the feelings of gravitation and movement and rotation of the body originate in the inner ear. The sense organs are the cells of the hair, which transmit signals over the auditory nerve.
