Answer:

The correct answer is a.

Explanation:

Asthma is characterized by a chronic inflammatory process of the airways in which a variety of cells predominate, such as eosinophils, neutrophils, and mast cells. Chronic inflammation produces an increase in airway reactivity and recurrent episodes of wheezing, respiratory distress, intercostal pulling, coughing, and chest tightness, especially at night and in the morning. Asthma is a disease in which there is bronchial hyperresponsiveness, which is an exaggerated response of the bronchial mucosa and leads to bronchospasm and bronchitis.

What is nitrogen cycle and, what things need the nitrogen cycle and why is it important?
lapo4ka [179]

Explanation:

So plants need nitrogen to make their proteins (proteins are made of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen and small amounts of sulfer).

Unfortunately, the nitrogen in the atmosphere is inert (unreactive).

But there are still other ways to get nitrogen:

1. Lightning. It causes some of the nitrogen to combine with oxygen, forming nitrogen oxides. These dissolve in rain and are washed into the soil where they form nitrates.

2. Artificial fertilizers. There are literally ammonium compounds and nitrates in those bags that people sell.

3. Nitrogen-fixing bacteria. So there is bacteria in the soil that live in root nodules on plants.

What do they do?? They use nitrogen from air spaces in the soil and combine it with other subsrances to make ammonium ions and other compounds.

4. Nitrifying bacteria. They turn ammonium ions into nitrates, which plants can use again. (so basically they serve nitrogen dish to the plant)

They convert the nitrogen containing substances into BETTER nitrogen containing substances for the plant

5. Denitrifying bacteria. FINALLY these bacteria turn nitrates and ammonia in the soil into nitrogen gas, which goes back to the atmosphere.

And the cycle goes on from the start...

Note that 1-3 are just ways in which nitrogen can be converted into a more reactive form.

I Hope this helps

At the bottom of the energy pyramid are the producers (plants and other photosynthetic organisms). The first group of organisms that consume the producers are called the primary consumers (herbivores). The next group of consumers are the secondary consumers, and then the tertiary consumers and quaternary consumers.
