The right option is; splitting atmospheric nitrogen allowing it to combine with oxygen

Lightning is the flash of light caused by the discharge of atmospheric electrical charge. In nitrogen cycle, lightning play an important role by indirectly adding nitrogen to the soil. It transforms atmospheric nitrogen into a form that can be used by plants (a process known as nitrogen fixation). The strong bonds of atmospheric nitrogen molecule are broken (split) by the bolts of lightning that transmits electrical energy. After the molecules are separated, the nitrogen atoms quickly combine with oxygen in the atmosphere to form nitrogen dioxide which also dissolves in water (within the atmosphere) to form nitric acid. The nitric acid also form nitrates which is being released to the ground in rain drops. The nitrates then spread into the soil in a form that can be used by plants.

A P. bursaria cell that has lost its zoochlorellae is said to be "aposymbiotic." It might be able to replenish its contingent of
seraphim [82]

The correct answer is B)  abundant light, abundant bacterial prey.

The situations that would be most favorable to the re-establishment of resident zoochlorellae, assuming compatible Chlorella are present in P. bursaria's habitat is "abundant light, abundant bacterial prey."

This element needs these conditions of abundant light and bacterial prey to have the correct metabolism and live. The bacterial prey will help the element to grow. This is going to increase the preservation of the green algae.

What can occur when too much groundwater is pumped out of underground aquifers?
Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

Pumping too much water too fast draws down the water in the aquifer and eventually causes a well to yield less and less water and even run dry. In fact, pumping your well too much can even cause your neighbor's well to run dry if you both are pumping from the same aquifer.
