Your first assignment is to provide information to the firm BigMoney Inc, a chemical producer in Kansas interested in using micr

obes to clean toxic spills (bioremediation). BigMoney Inc. has had a major spill of inorganic Nitrite (N02-) that contaminated the soil around their plant. Scientists at BigMoney have developed mechanisms for removing NH4+ from soil, but have not found one for N02-. They want to know on a strictly theoretical basis (regardless of whether bacteria exist in nature that actually do these specific reactions) if there are any types of bacteria that could metabolize N02- to give rise to NH4+?Nitrite (N02-) to Ammonium (NH4+).a) Is this an oxidation or reduction?b) Is N02- acting as an electron acceptor or donor?

Answer:

Bacteria that  metabolize NO2- to give rise to NH4+ belongs to the family of denitrifying bacteria and nitrate ammonification bacteria such as pseudomonas.

Explanation:

Denitrifying bacteria uses NO2- as electron aceeptor thus converting the nitrite ion (NO2-) to ammonium ion(NH4+).

              a) The above reaction is a reduction reaction because NO2- or nitrite ion accept electron to generated its reduced form known as ammonium(NH4+).

             b)  NO2- acting as electron acceptor in this reaction.

During the _____ phase of selye's theory of stress, considerable energy is expended to adapt to the stressor.
mina [271]

According to Selye's theory of stress, during the condition of the stress, the body undergoes the general adaptation syndrome, which occurs in three stages. These three stages are fight or flight, resistance reaction, and exhaustion.

The flight or fight reaction is stimulated by the hypothalamus. It results in the excitement of the sympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system. The resistance reaction is caused by the hormones released by the hypothalamus; this is long lasting and provides ATP (adenosine triphosphate) molecules for the counter reaction to the stress.  

As the result of use of ATP and other energy resource from body during the resistance reaction, the body becomes deprived of energy. This causes the exhaustion in the body.  

So, the resistance phase of the stress expands a considerable amount of energy, which causes exhaustion.
