Nitrogen Cycle steps:
N molecules breaking apart via nitrogen-fixing bacteria.
Animals ingest nitrogen in nitrate-containing food after plants use nitrogen-containing compounds.
The organic matter decays via decomposers
N2 is formed via denitrifying bacteria.
Explanation:
The nitrogen-fixing bacteria removes atmospheric nitrogen by fixing nitrogen through nitrification. The atmospheric nitrogen cannot be absorbed by plants and hence has to be converted into nitrates. This conversion takes place by nitrifying bacteria present in leguminous plants.
Animals (herbivores) consume the plants that have absorbed nitrogen/
When these animals die, decomposing bacteria acts on the dead organic matter, decomposition takes place through ammonification, converting the organic nitrates into ammonia
The nitrates are converted back again to nitrogen by the action of denitrifying bacteria.
The nitrogen thus formed is released to the atmosphere
The statement that suggests that the shape of an enzyme determines its function, would be the fact that enzymes are specific to certain substrates, depending on the particular shape of an enzyme it can allow binding to specific substrates and allow for catalyzing that corresponding reaction.
when a plant takes in sunlight to make glucose
Answer:
Explanation:
Proteins are involved in almost every function of cell and inside the body and each protein is specific for its role. Some of them are
1) Protein constitute major part of structure of cell. Proteins are major constituent of cell membrane along with lipids.
2) Enzymes which are proteins in nature catalyze all the important chemical reactions inside and outside the cell e.g transporting material across the cell, synthesizing and repair of DNA
3) Hormones which are proteins play important role in the regulation of metabolic reactions inside the cell
4) Regulation of cell division is performed by DNA-associated proteins
5) Proteins plays important role in storage of iron inside the cells
6) Proteins can be stored as fats inside the body and used as energy when needed by cells for its metabolic activities.
