Ans.

Nitrogen fertilizers are commonly used by farmers to increase crop production. Ammonium is the main component of nitrogen fertilizer, as it is easily assimilated by plants and provides nitrogen to them, while nitrate gets easily lost from the soil. During nitrogen cycle, ammonium is converted into nitrate by nitrification. So, nitrification inhibitors are used with to slow down the conversion of ammonium to nitrate to provide nitrogen for longer time.

Thus, 'to increase crop production, nitrification step of nitrogen cycle is preferred by farmers to block, or slow down.'

Salsk061 [2.6K]

Given what we know, we can say that In skeletal muscles, fast oxidative (intermediate) fibers are characterized as type ll-A, and they typically produce ATP through aerobic cellular respiration.

<h3>What are fast oxidative fibers?</h3>

These are a type of muscle fibers that can be trained. This means that they usually do not occur naturally but through continued muscle training by the individual. They are also referred to as enhanced fast-twitch muscle fibers. They are aerobic meaning that they require oxygen to undergo cellular respiration.

Therefore, we can confirm that fast oxidative (intermediate) fibers are characterized as type ll-A, and they typically produce ATP through aerobic cellular respiration.
