B. bacteria that convert ammonia into nitrites and nitrates are found in the soil  

This statement best demonstrates a way that the geo-sphere is involved in the nitrogen cycle.

A nitrogen cycle is defined as the movement of nitrogen between the atmosphere, biosphere, and geo-sphere in different forms. Ammonia is converted to nitrates by nitrifying bacteria in the soil. Then the plants absorb these nitrates from the soil and use these to build up proteins.

<h2>Answer:</h2><h3>B. bacteria that convert ammonia into nitrites and nitrates are found in the soil.</h3><h2>Explanation:</h2>

Bacteria living in the soil in root nodules of various plants are directly involved in the nitrogen cycle. The nitrifying bacteria "<em>Nitrobacters" </em>and "<em>Nitrosomonas"</em> can fix atmospheric nitrogen and can convert it into nitrates and nitrites. As plants can not directly fix that atmospheric nitrogen so these <em>Nitrobacters</em> and <em>Nitrosomonas </em>who lives in symbiotic relation in their root nodules do this nitrogen fixation for them. So these bacteria provide them nitrates and nitrates that plants can directly uptake and can use in their essential metabolic cycles. In this way, Geosphere plays a critical role in nitrogen fixation.

Eukartyotic cells are found as bacteria or archaea. They are usually unicellular organisms. Has no nucleus. Has a very small cell size.

Prokaryotic cells are found in plants and animals. They are multicellular. Has a nucleus. And has a much bigger cell  size.

They can have many of the same organelles, but prokaryotic cells are usually more advanced. They are both forms of life. They are both cells.

Olegator [25]

Answer:

a) Teeth arose from the rough scales of ancestral sharks.

b) Skeletal developments leading to the amphibian movement onto land probably evolved from lobe-finned fishes.

d) The anterior gill arch formed the basis for the evolution of the vertebrate jaw.

Explanation:

The animals we know today have physical characteristics that are evolutionary adaptations of characteristics of their ancestors, which have undergone a series of evolutions and modifications over the years giving rise to new species that have resulted in the species we know today. This process of evolutions and adaptations also happened with the ancestral species of fish, which allowed that today, they had characteristics such as teeth and jaws. Many of these evolutions occurred even in different species, such as the evolution that allowed the amphibians to have a skeleton, which evolved from the spine fins of fish.
