Which statement correctly describes how nitrogen in the soil returns to the atmosphere?

Answer: Decomposers directly convert ammonium into nitrogen gas.

Explanation:

The living beings such as plants and animals exhibit biomolecules like nucleic acids and proteins in which the important ingredient called as nitrogen is present.  When these organisms die the dead remains of the organisms are degraded and decomposed by the soil microbes. The organic matter generated after the decomposition process consists of ammonium which is converted into nitrogen gas by the soil microbes. This way the nitrogen fixed by the soil bacteria in the soil into various forms reverts back to the atmosphere by the decomposition process.

The answer is "Decomposers directly convert ammonium into nitrogen gas".

Living organisms such as plants and animals contains nitrogen in the form of the amino acids and proteins. When they die, the nitrogen in the form of ammonium is decomposed by microorganisms. It is then converted into nitrites and then to nitrates by nitrifying bacteria. The denitrifying bacteria then converts nitrates into nitrogen.

Read each of the sentences that describe a phase of meiosis. Place each sentence into the correct box.
Allushta [10]

Answer:

prophase 1(Homologous chromosomes pair to form a tetrad.

prophase 1(Crossing-over may occur between the non-sister chromatids).

Metaphase 1 (Homologous chromosomes line up at the center of the cell.)

Anaphase 1 (Homologous pairs separate and move towards opposite ends of the cell)

Telophase 1 (A nuclear membrane forms and cytokinesis follows).

Metaphase 2 ( The haploid number of duplicated chromosomes line up at the metaphase plate.

Anaphase 2 (Sister chromatids separate and become daughter chromosomes that move to the poles)

Meiosis 2: Four haploid daughter cells are formed that are not genetically identical.

Explanation:

Meiosis is a type of cell division that gives rise to gametes ( offsprings). This type of cell division occurs only in the reproductive organs. A diploid cell has two sets of chromosomes: one from the female parent and the other one from the male parent. When the diploid cell undergoes meiosis, the chromosome replicate once and the nucleus and cell duplicate twice giving rise to four haploid gamete cells.

The phases of meiosis occurs in two step divisions. Homologous pairs separate during the first round cell division which occurs in MEIOSIS 1 while the sister chromatids separate in the second nuclear division called MEIOSIS 2.

In each round of division, cells go through four stages: PROPHASE, METAPHASE, ANAPHASE, and TELOPHASE. The specific events that occur in these stages are already listed in the above answer.

Generally, at the start of meiosis, each member of a homologous pair of chromosomes, which are made up of two chromatids, moves to lie side by side. While they are thus paired, genetic material is exchanged between the chromatids. This is known as CROSSING OVER.

When the nucleus divides for the first time, the chromosomes in a given pair( not the chromatids) separate and move to opposite ends of the cell. This results in only half the number of chromosomes going to each daughter cell.

During the second nuclear division, the chromatids separate and move to opposite ends of each daughter cell giving rise to four gamete cells, each with a haploid number of chromosomes.

Smoking ruins your lungs making it harder to breath and get oxygen
you need oxygen when you exercise so you don't faint
