Answer:

The nitrogen cycle could not exist without the presence of nitrogen-fixing microorganisms.

Explanation:

As part of the biogeochemical cycles that occur in nature, the nitrogen cycle involves all the organic and non-organic processes that allow the incorporation of this element into the organism of living beings.

Although nitrogen is abundant in nature, in gaseous form, living beings cannot take advantage of it, because they lack the ability to convert this gas into organic nitrogen. Nitrogen-fixing microorganisms -such as bacteria in the soil- turn inorganic nitrogen into organic, that incorporates plants.

Nitrogen-fixing bacteria exist in both soil and plant roots. They are responsible for the conversion of atmospheric nitrogen and ammonium, the product of the degradation of organic matter, into nitrites and nitrates that assimilate the plants. Herbivorous animals obtain this nitrogen from vegetables, and carnivores from them.

7) (a) The right Ovary is located at the Right Lower Quadrant

(b) The region of the right ovary is the hypogastric region.

8) (a) The Uterus is located at both the Right Lower Quadrant and Left Lower Quadrant.

(b) The Uterus is located in the hypogastric region of the abdomen.

Explanation: In medicine, the practitioners divide the lower part of the body known as the 'abdomen' with imaginary lines ( one vertical and one horizontal) to form the 'Quadrants' and (two vertical and two horizontal) the 'Regions'. The Quadrants are divided into four main parts:

1) Left Upper Quadrant (LUQ)

2) Right Upper Quadrant (RUQ)

3) Left Lower Quadrant (LLQ)

4) Right Lower Quadrant (RLQ)

The regions are divided into nine parts:

1) Left Hypochondriac Region

2) Right Hypochondriac Region

3) Epigastric Region

4) Left Lumbar Region

5) Right Lumbar Region

6) Umbilical Region

7) Right Iliac/Inguinal Region

8) Left Iliac/Inguinal Region

9) Hypogastric Region.

The abdomen is divided into regions in order to help medical practitioners and students easily understand the abdominal area of the body as well as the human anatomy. It also helps them provide preliminary diagnosis and treatment based on pain emanating from each region or quadrant.
