Answer:

The bacteria convert free nitrogen into nitrogen-containing compounds, while the decomposers convert nitrogen-containing compounds into free nitrogen.

Explanation:

Nitrogen is an essential element for all living organisms. It is required for synthesis protein and nucleic acids and other nitrogenous compounds. Some nitrogen fixing organisms such as Rhizobium, fixes atmospheric nitrogen (N₂) into usable forms such as nitrate (NO₃⁻) or ammonium (NH₄⁺ ) in the soil. The plants take up (NO₃⁻) and (NH₄⁺ )by absorption from the soil by their roots and make protein and nucleic acids.  Animals take up nitrogen by eating plants.  On death of a plant or animal and the nitrogenous waste produced by animals, decomposers such as bacteria and fungi convert this organic nitrogen into ammonium (NH4⁺) and later into NO₂⁻ and NO₃⁻. Denitrifying bacteria change NO₃⁻ into free nitrogen (N₂).

There are 50 fish in the pond that have tags. You catch 25 fish, and 5 of them have tags. What is the best estimate of the numbe
sergeinik [125]

Answer: 250


Explanation:


You work this problem by using proportions.


A proportion is the equalization of two ratios.


Here you assume that the ratio of fish with tags to total fish that you catch is the same than the ratio of fish with tags to total fish in the pond.


Mathematically:

  • 5 fish with tag / 25 fish = 50 fish with tag / x
  • 5 / 25 = 50 / x

Solve for x:

  • Multiplication property of equality: x × 5 = 50 × 25
  • Division property of equality: x = 50 × 25 / 5
  • Result: 250
