Nitrogen fixation is the process by which nitrogen is taken from its relatively inert molecular form (N2) in the atmosphere and converted into nitrogen compounds useful for other chemical processes (such as, notably, ammonia, nitrate and nitrogen dioxide).
Nitrogen fixation is performed naturally by certain types of anaerobic bacteria. Legumes such as clover contain symbiotic bacteria of this type within nodules in their root systems, producing nitrogen compounds that help to fertilize the soil. See George Washington Carver.
Nitrogen can also be artificially fixed for use as fertilizer or in other industrial processes. The most popular method is by the Haber process. Artificial fertilizer production has achieved such scale that it is now the largest source of fixed nitrogen in the Earth's ecosystem.

Biology, Chemistry, Physics, and Medicine are not classified under the category of Pseudoscience.
<h3>What is Pseudoscience?</h3>
Pseudoscience may be defined as a recommendation, a determination, or a method of illustration that is delivered as science but that lacks the severity important to the scientific approach.
Pseudoscience may always deal with the concept of recommendation methods which seems to be faulty and does not provide enough evidence to support the answer. Subjects like biology, chemistry, physics, etc. deal with the concept of scientific methods.
The complete question is as follows:
Which of the following is NOT an example of pseudoscience?
- Biology
- Astrology
- Chemistry
- Physics
- Medicine.
Therefore, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, and Medicine are not classified under the category of Pseudoscience.

#SPJ1
Answer:
The correct answer is -
1. c. both
2. b. gluconeogenesis
3. d. neither
4. b. gluconeogenesis
5. a. glycolysis
6. c. both
7. a. glycolysis
8. d. neither
Explanation:
Gluconeogenesis is the formation or synthesis of glucose while glycolysis is the conversion of glucose into pyruvate. Gluconeogenesis requires an enzyme for a non-reversal reaction which is not required in glycolysis.
Glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase is an enzyme present in glycolysis that converts glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate to 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate. It is a reversible reaction, this enzyme also present during gluconeogenesis converts 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate to glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate.
Glucose 6-phosphate to glucose during gluconeogenesis by glucose-6-phosphatase. Alcohol dehydrogenase is used for the conversion of ethanol into acetaldehyde and neither present in glyconeogenesis nor glycolysis. Oxaloacetate converts to phosphoenol pyruvate during gluconeogenesis by Phosphoenol pyruvate carboxykinase.
Fructose 6-phosphate changes into fructose 1,6-bisphosphate by Phosphofructokinase-1 during glycolysis.
Phosphoglycerate mutase is present in both pathways during glycolysis and during gluconeogenesis. This enzyme converts 3-phosphoglycerate to 2-phosphoglycerate and also converts 2-phosphoglycerate to 3-phosphoglycerate in glycolysis and gluconeogenesis respectively.
Hexokinase converts glucose to glucose 6-phosphate during glycolysis. However, Pyruvate dehydrogenase neither present in glycolysis nor gluconeogenesis.
<u>Answer:</u>
Q: Which skeletal system <u>disorder</u> might she be suffering from?
A: <u>Osteoporosis</u>
Q: What <u>techniques</u> could be used to diagnose her condition?
A: <u>Bone mineral density (BMD) test</u> or <u>dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scan</u>
Q: What treatments are available?
A: Medication, healthy food.
<u>Explanation:</u>
<u>The vertebral discs between vertebrae could shrink with age</u>. Therefore, a height loss up to 1-inch is normal. However, if the height loss is more then it is possibly due to <u>osteoporosis</u>.
A <u>bone mineral density test</u>, also known as <u>dual energy X-ray absorptiometry</u> scan, is a well-adapted test to measure the amount of calcium and other minerals in the bones. It uses <u>X-rays</u> to measure the content of calcium and thus strength of bones.
A person who is already suffering from osteoporosis should be treated with <u>medicine</u> right away so that it <u>stops</u> further <u>deterioration of the bones</u> and <u>avoid any future bone fractures</u>. Further, it can be handled by <u>eating a healthy diet</u> and <u>supplements</u> such as <u>vitamins D</u>. In case some of the bones/vertebrae are <u>already fractured</u>, <u>surgical approaches</u> might be necessary.
