The molecule, which the plant is most likely synthesizing using the extra nitrogen is PROTEIN.

Plants and animals do not have the capacity to use atmospheric nitrogen as nutrient. Atmospheric nitrogen has to be converted to forms that are usable by plants and animals before they can utilize it. Nitrogen fixing bacteria are the ones that are responsible for converting atmospheric nitrogen to the forms such as nitrate and ammonium, which can be used by plants. Animals get their own portion of nitrogen when they eat plants or other animals. Nitrate is the form of nitrogen that is mostly used by plants. Excess ammonium in plants are usually used directly to synthesize proteins. Nitrogen is a very important component of chlorophyll, which is essential for photosynthesis. Nitrogen is also found in the genetic materials of plants and it is needed for their growth and development.  Animals used nitrogen to synthesize proteins, nucleic acid and other biological compounds that contain nitrogen.

Setler [38]
<span>Jane's observation will be that in the transparent bottle, the algae and small plants present in the pond water release oxygen during photosynthesis, while in the dark bottle, photosynthesis doesn’t occur due to darkness. Therefore, oxygen in the transparent bottle is more than that in the dark bottle. In photosynthesis, photosynthesizing organisms, such are algae and small plants, use carbon dioxide and water and convert it into glucose and oxygen in the present of sunlight. Therefore, organisms in the transparent bottle can perform photosynthesis and consequently release oxygen. However, this is not the case with the dark bottle that cannot transmit the sunlight.</span>

Arrange according from largest to smallest in size:
Inessa [10]

Answer:

The correct answer is "Redwood tree; human being; Paramecium; White Blood Cell; Escherichia coli; Chickenpox virus; Ribosome; Prion fibril; Water molecule; Sulfur atom".

Explanation:

Redwood trees are gigantic trees, and its size can reach up to 90 meters.

The average size of a human being is 1.7 meters for males and 1.6 meters for females.

Paramecium are members of the protozoa genus, among the largest unicellular algae. Its average size is among 50 to 330 micrometers.

White Blood Cell are up to 17 micrometers in diameter.

Escherichia coli is a type of bacteria, as a prokaryotic organism is much more smaller than a eukaryotic cell such asa the white blood cell. Escherichia coli is up to 2 micrometers in diameter.

Chickenpox virus are among the largest viruses, they are from 150 to 200 nanometers in diameter.

Ribosomes vary on size depending if they are Prokaryotic or Eukaryotic, where the first are up to 20 nanometers and the second are up to 30 nanometers.

Prion fibrils are aggregates comprised of several protein units. It size varies depending on the number of proteins, but the ones containing around 200 units can reach up to 27 nanometers.

Water molecule is comprised of two atoms of oxygen and one atom of hydrogen, its size is measured with picometers (1 picometer is equal to 1000 nanometers). A water molecule has a size of 275 picometers.

Sulfur atom is the smallest in the list. Its size is around 100 picometers.
