Answer:

All this combination of reactions is summarized in that the bacteria reduced nitrate, that is, they added protons to said compound, giving nitrite as a product.

By promoting the appearance of nitrite and that it increases in its concentrations when the zinc dust is thrown away, it becomes reddish since there was a change in pH, that is, the medium was acidified.

Explanation:

Some bacteria take nitrate as a source and end up generating an oxide reduction reaction that gives nitrite as a product, if this reaction advances in a chain, that is, the nitrite is reduced after the nitrate, the product in the future would be ammonia

A forest ecosystem can support a limited number of bears. This is because?
Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

A forest ecosystem can support a limited number of bears because bears are the supreme predators of their ecosystem and very few animals can hunt bears so nature by supporting a limited number of bear populations supports a balanced number of population of its prey like insects, fishes, deer.

Another reason for the limited population of bear is that bear occupies the highest trophic level in the ecosystem so according to 10% law of energy transfer, it will get very less energy from its food so it needs to eat more.  

Therefore the population of bears is limited because the environment can not meet the energy requirement of many bears so a forest ecosystem can support a limited number of bears.

Samantha believes that flowering plants produce more flowers when they are given fertilizer. She designs an experiment in which
ZanzabumX [31]

Answer:

I think she should try the experiment one set with fertilizer, and one without. The negative control group would be the set of rose bushes grown without the fertilizer, but under the exact same conditions as the experimental group. Then, if a difference is seen you can be sure it's accurate, since you tested with and without fertilizer under the same conditions. Sorry if i am wrong, I am not completly sure about this one. Again I might be wrong so sorry in advance.
