Answer:

Lightning can be best described as an electrical discharge, which is caused by the imbalances between the clouds and the storm and the ground or sometime within the cloud. It carries around 20,000 to 30,000 ampere of current when it comes to the ground.

It is not only the direct hit of the lightning that make you worry, but any strike that is close to us can be dangerous to us as it results in the release of huge amount of electricity in the surrounding area.

Because Energy transfers into the ground and air around the strike creating almost an energy field. The heat can be very damaging and is dangerous being so close to the exposed radiation.

Think of a deer in the woods that has just relieved itself by urinating. Number the steps to follow the nitrogen molecules in th
IRINA_888 [86]
The molecules of nitrogen in the urine are broken down into ammonium. - Step 5 ("Nitrogen is found in the urine, which gets broken down into ammonium through the process of ammonification<span>.")
Then, ammonium is converted into nitrates by nitrifying bacteria. - Step 1 ("</span><span>Ammonium can be absorbed by plants, but some is converted into nitrates which are better for plants to absorb. This is called nitrification.")
There are then two ways that the cycle can take... in the one related to the deer, follows the assimilation where the plants add the nitrogen to protein. - Step 6 ("</span><span>Plants absorb the ammonium and begin assimilation, the process to add the nitrogen to protein.")
The deer then eats the plants and the nitrogen is again inside it and ready to be used and again released in urine. - Step 2 ("</span><span>The deer eats the plants and uses the nitrogen-containing proteins for cell growth.")

The other way that the nitrogen may take is denitrification by denitrifying bacteria. - Step 4 ("</span><span>Some of the nitrates are absorbed back into plants, but denitrification breaks down the nitrates into nitrogen gas released back into the atmosphere.")
This gas is then captured by nitrogen fixing bacteria, called nitrogen fixation. - Step 3 ("</span><span>Bacteria in the soil conduct nitrogen fixation to convert nitrogen gas from the atmosphere into ammonium.")
The ammonium is now ready again for t</span>he process of ammonification.

The processes of photosynthesis and cellular respiration are<br>really all about?​
kobusy [5.1K]

Answer:

The process of photosynthesis and cellular respiration are really all about metabolism that deals with the synthesis of various bioactive molecules required by the body.

Explanation:

Now in case of photosynthesis CO2 is absorbed from the atmosphere which reacts with water to generate glucose(C6H12O6) and oxygen(O2).

          6CO2+12H2O=C6H12O6+6O2+6H2O

On the other hand during aerobic respiration glucose molecule is oxidized in 3 stages Glycolysis,TCA cycle and Oxidative phosphorylation to generate CO2,H2O and energy in form of ATP molecules.

      C6H12O6+6O2=6CO2+6H2O+38ATP
