What is a biogeochemical cycle?

Biology
2 answers:
maria [59]3 years ago
4 0

Answer : The correct answer is -

4) a process that recycles elements and other matter through the biosphere.

Biogeochemical cycle can be described as natural pathways for the recycling of the nutrients (which are primarily the chemical compounds) through biotic as well se abiotic compartments of an ecosystem.

It is broadly categorised into gaseous (such as oxygen, nitrogen, and water cycle) and sedimentary cycles (that include earthbound elements such as iron, calcium, sulphur etc).

Thus, elements and other matter are recycled through the biosphere in biogeochemical cycle.

How do plants and animals get nitrogen if not from the atmosphere?
GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

Our atmosphere (air) is comprised of 78% of nitrogen. However, this nitrogen is in its elementary state (N₂) and therefore is quite inactive, so the plants can not use it directly. Changing the elementary nitrogen into more reactive forms (NH₃, NO₂, HNO₃) is occurring through the process called nitrogen fixation. It is happening via two processes.

First one is physical nitrogen fixation. When some type of atmospheric physical energy (lightning bolt, for example) reacts with N₂, it splits it in two very reactive N atoms, enabling them to react with oxygen in order to form NO₂.

Second process is biological nitrogen fixation. It's done by bacteria, special bacteria living in the soil, able to use elementary nitrogen for its metabolical pathways resulting in production of ammonia, which can be used by plants. It's noteworthy that bacteria are responsible for about 90% of all nitrogen fixation.

Which of the two tests would likely produce more false negatives with a shorter incubation time?
Masteriza [31]

Answer: A short incubation time runs the risk of a false negative on the VP test, since not enough time may have elapsed to produce an adequate amount of acetoin to give a positive result. The pH change associated with mixed acid fermentation occurs fairly quickly and is less likely to be affected by shorter incubation.

b) The VP test would benefit most from a longer incubation time because it takes a while for the 2,3-butanodiol to be produced.
