How is atmospheric nitrogen converted into a biologically useful form of nitrogen?

Biology
1 answer:
frutty [35]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

The atmosphere is the largest reservoir of the nitrogen as it is composed of 78% of Nitrogen. Although 78%, this is not used by the organisms directly as the nitrogen molecule exists in nature in the form of divalent joined via triple bonds.

These triple bonds require a great amount of energy to be broken and used. Only a few prokaryotic organisms called nitrogen-fixing bacteria have the capability to break these triple bonds as they contain enzymes-nitrogenase complex which converts the atmospheric nitrogen to usable forms like ammonia, nitrates and nitrites. About 92% of the atmospheric nitrogen is fixed through this way rest through thunderstorms and Haber's process.

Thus, nitrogen-fixing bacteria is the answer.

Vera_Pavlovna [14]

The answer is CNS depression. Reduced activity in the brain can be caused by chemical agents such as opioids, ethanol, benzodiazepines, ethanol, and anticonvulsants. Metabolic issues such as hypoglycemia can also cause CNS depression or accidental inhalation of chemicals such as isopropyl alcohol, or butanol.

If you could monitor the activity from the photoreceptors of rods and cones in the retina during a dream, would you expect these
loris [4]

The question is incomplete as it does not have the options which are:

- Yes, because people's eyes move during sleep, and this stimulates the rods and cones.

- No, because rods and cones only convert light energy into electrical signals.

- No, because rods and cones never produce electrical signals.

- Yes, because the rods and cones are reproducing images that are then sent to the brain.

Answer:

No, because rods and cones only convert light energy into electrical signals.

Explanation:

The rod and cone cells are the photoreceptor cells present on the retina of the eye which receives the physical stimulus in the form of light and then converts the light energy into the electrical energy which is sent to the brain.

When we dream, our remains closed and no light is able to enter the eye as a result of which the rods and cones do not send the signals to the brain.

Thus, the selected options are correct.
