Answer:

Oxygen gas

Explanation:

Oxygen is the most essential gas that supports life. In the early atmosphere, during the time of the formation of the earth, there was the absence of this gas. But after a certain period of time, roughly about 2.3 billion years back, there was slightly an increase in the atmospheric oxygen that helped in the origin of life, forming unicellular organisms such as cyanobacteria and blue-green algae.

These organisms were present in the water bodies that carried out the process of photosynthesis, by absorbing CO₂ gas in the presence of sunlight and liberating O₂ gas. This, over millions of years, led to the evolution of life and created more complex multicellular organisms.

Thus, Oxygen is highly essential for the origin of life on earth.

What's the difference between nitrification and dentification
Y_Kistochka [10]

Difference between nitrification and dentrification

Explanation:

Nitrification and denitrification are part of the nitrogen cycle

Nitrification is the process of conversion of ammonium to nitrate by nitrifying bacteria like Nitrobacter and Nitrosomonas

Denitrification is the process of reduction of nitrate to nitrogen gas by denitrifying bacteria like Pseudomonos, Lactobacillus etc.

Nitrifying bacteria are autotrophs and grows slowly and need aerobic condition.  Denitrifying bacteria are hetertrophs and grows rapidly and need anaerobic conditions.

Nitrification requires a pH of about 6.5 to 8.0; denitrification takes place at 7.0 to 8.5

Nitrification provides soluble nitrates readily available in the soil to be easily absorbed by the roots.

Denitrification processes are used in wastewater or effluent treatment plants.
