Explain the role of bacteria in the nitrogen cycle

Biology
1 answer:
Oksanka [162]3 years ago
4 0

Bacteria is important because this bacteria binds hydrogen molecules with the gaseous nitrogen to form ammonia in the soil.  During assimilation, or when plants take up nitrates from the soil, bacteria aid in the process with the plants in making ammonia. Animal wastes is also a major place where bacteria thrives and produces ammonia. The process in which assimilation occurs in plants, and then bacteria converts the nitrates to ammonia is called ammonification.  From the conversion of ammonia to nitrites, bacteria also aids in this process called nitrification. The nitrifying bacteria mostly present in soils, oxidize ammonia into nitrites, and from nitrites to nitrates.

Finally, the process of denitrification also has bacteria present to aid in converting nitrates back into a gaseous form of nitrogen in the atmosphere.

Gram-positive bacteria are bacteria that have thick cell walls which yield positive results in the Gram staining test. Lipoteichoic acid is a major component of the cell wall of gram-positive bacteria.

  • All bacteria indicated in the question can be classified by the Gram staining test:
  1. Actinomycetes are Gram-positive bacteria
  2. The genus <em>Arthrobacter </em>includes Gram-positive bacteria
  3. <em>Escherichia coli </em>(<em>E. coli</em>) is a Gram-negative bacterium
  4. <em>Staphylococcus spp.</em> are Gram-positive bacteria
  5. <em>Bacillus spp</em> are Gram-positive bacteria
  6. <em>Mycobacterium spp.</em> are Gram-positive bacteria

  • Prokaryotes can be divided into two domains: Bacteria and Archaea.

  • Gram staining is a method used to classify bacteria, but this method IS NOT USED to stain Archaea.

  • In consequence, I would not use the Gram test to stain Archaebacteria because Archaebacteria aren't bacteria (Option A is correct).

  • Archaebacteria belong to the Archaea domain.

What manages muscles and prevents injury by monitoring the rate of muscle contraction?
IgorLugansk [536]

Golgi tendon organ manages muscles and prevents injury by monitoring the rate of muscle contraction.

What is the Golgi tendon organ? What is its primary function?

Sensory organs called Golgi tendon organs (GTOs) are found in the tendon next to the myotendinous junction. The Golgi tendon organ, which is located close to the point where a tendon joins a muscle, is a sensory ending that resembles a tree and is encased in a spindle-shaped connective tissue capsule.

The Golgi tendon organ is the sensory organ that determines how much tension the muscle is exerting when someone lifts weights. The Golgi tendon organ will prevent the muscle from producing any force (by a reflex arc) if there is excessive muscle tension, preventing you from harming yourself. Together, these monitor muscle length via the muscle spindles.
