Summarize the nitrogen cycle and it’s importance of proteins and DNA

Biology

Answer:

Nitrogen cycle works through various stages like, nitrogen fixation, nitrification, assimilation, ammonification, denitrification etc. It is a building block for protein and DNA

Explanation:

Nitrogen is an element abundantly found in the atmosphere, also its building block for proteins as well as nucleic acid i.e. DNA formation. In nitrogen cycle , the nitrogen is being prepared from inert nitrogen.  The nitrogen cycle has several processes like nitrogen fixation, in this the inert nitrogen is being converted to organic nitrogen with the help of certain micro-organism.

Nitrification, plants cannot absorb directly nitrogen so bacteria help the plants to convert the nitrogen into ammonia form in this stage. Assimilation, another stage in which plants starts absorbing various forms of nitrogen from the soil.i.e. nitrate, nitrite and ammonium. Ammonification, here plants and animals have nitrogen in there body after death various microbes help in decomposition in this stage. Denitrification, in this stage the return back of nitrogen takes place.

A student listed characteristics of a classroom aquarium ecosystem. Which
Ghella [55]

Answer:

The correct answer is "The ammonia is controlled with a filter that uses two type of bacteria."

Explanation:

  • The Biosphere on earth is composed of all the ecosystems, while each ecosystem is composed of the abiotic and biotic components and their mutual interactions. Aquarium is an example of aquatic ecosystem.
  • Abiotic components constitute the non-living part of the ecosystem.
  • Biotic components constitute the living part of the ecosystem.
  • In the aquarium,
  1. The abiotic components include the air, water, heat, minerals, sunlight, fluorescent light.
  2. The biotic components include the aquatic plants, aquatic animals and  the bacteria (in the filter attached to the aquarium).
  • These bacteria are responsible for fixing dissolved nitrogen gas present in the water of the aquarium to ammonium and are called nitrogen-fixing bacteria.
  • Free living bacteria like cyanobacteria or blue-green algae are examples of nitrogen-fixing bacteria.
  • Fixation of dissolved nitrogen gas to ammonium and then conversion of ammonium to nitrites and nitrates (done by other bacteria) is essential because plants (terrestrial or aquatic) can use only  nitrates as the source of nitrogen for the purpose of metabolism.

energy exists as light, heat, chemical energy , mechanical , and electrical energy. choose three of these five forms of energy.
oee [108]

Answer:

Chemical energy: plants use chemical energy when they convert the light into food (aka break it down into sugars)

Heat energy: Animals use heat energy so they wont freeze, by forming heat energy they will either be active (running, so on) or be somewhere that the sun hits them so that their bodies will convert the sunlight into heat

Electrical energy: Humans use electrical energy for just about everything like the lights, making food, using electronics, etc.

All evolutionary changes that allow a species to change in response to the environment, are originally a result of
Norma-Jean [14]
All evolutionary changes that allow a species to change in response to the environment, are originally a result of beneficial DNA mutations.

Beneficial genetic (DNA) mutations are result in individuals with special characteristics that allow them to survive better in the environment so they pass their genes to the next generation.

Here's a fictional example I made just for you!: Lets say you have an alien species called Hibas. They are jelly blobs that float around, don't move, and open their mouths to capture neon shrimps that happen to swim into their mouths. But one day a certain Hiba developed some muscles through a genetic mutation. It was able to "wiggle" through the water and steer itself instead of floating around. This allowed it to eat more neon shrimp than the other Hibas, so it grew faster and was able to reproduce faster. It's kids also had muscles and had an advantage so they reproduced faster then the other Hibas. Eventually the whole Hiba species started to have muscles because the ones that didn't weren't able to compete and did not survive as well. 
The reason that most of the Hibas developed muscles was because one of them had a mutation that allowed it to have muscles. This was a BENEFICIAL mutation that allowed it to SURVIVE BETTER.

Which of the following is NOT a structural modification of the small intestine that increases surface area?
Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

Rugae

Explanation:

These are the inner folds of the stomach. The folds are pronounced in an empty stomach that is not yet distended by food. They also increase the surface area in which the food is in contact with digestive enzymes produced by the stomach walls.

Question 23 (Mandatory) (1 point)
aalyn [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is - option b) lipids

Explanation:

Lipids are one of the nutrients that are necessary to the body of an individual organism as it plays role in different ways such as energy storage, cell signaling, component of the cell membrane and many more hat maintain homeostasis in organisms body.

These nutrients are made up of fatty acid and glycerol long chains so these are polymer of glycerol and fatty acid and called triglyceride which provides maximum energy in comparison to other nutrients in need.

Thus, the correct answer is - option B) lipids.
