Defects in transcription factors underlie some forms of cancer.
Nitrogen is the major nutrient required by grass and is used to
stimulate high growth rates and is key to achieving high yields, however
if too much nitrogen is applied this can have a negative effects on
quality.
High rates of nitrogen can also cause problems with silage
fermentation due to excess nitrate having a negative impact on the
fermentation process and will produce silage that is less palatable and
the animals will be less keen to eat it.

Nitrate is generally taken up by grasses quicker than it is
incorporated into proteins and until used this excess known as luxury
uptake is stored in the leaves. Excess nitrate will be present if
insufficient time is allowed between application and mowing and can also
occur under conditions of poor growth eg low light levels, cool
temperatures. It is also a problem if there is a dry spell after
application, when nitrate cannot be taken up by the roots, followed by a
period of wet weather that results in luxury uptake. The plant cannot
convert it to protein quickly enough so it accumulates in the plant.

High rates of nitrogen may cause a reduction in crop sugars as they
are used to provide energy for the increased rate of plant growth and
for the manufacture of plant proteins and this increased growth rate may
in turn lead to lower crop dry matter content although in practice this
is often not significant.
Excess nitrate can be avoided by following the Grassland Rule to apply nitrogen at the rate of no more than 2.5 kg N/ha/day.
Answer:
Today, drug-resistant infections are a serious threat to people's health. Hundreds of thousands of lives are lost every year because of infections that can no longer be treated with existing drugs. Discovering new antibiotics, able to kill drug-resistant bacteria, is essential to saving modern medicine.
Answer:
C) Interaction increases the survival and reproductive rates of mutualistic species.
Explanation:
A) Mutualism offer more biodiversity to a community.
Biodiversity is the different species living in one environment. Since mutualism is only involving two species, it wouldn't increase the biodiversity of one ecosystem, making it incorrect.
B) Individuals partaking in a mutualistic relationship relationship are more resistant to parasites.
Mutualism is only benefiting two species, not their immunity to diseases and parasites. These two have no correlation with each other, making it incorrect.
D) Mutualistic interaction lessens competition in communities where it is present.
Since mutualism is only benefiting two species, they have no correlation since the relationship doesn't affect the different species in the environment.
E) Mutualistic relationships allow organisms to synthesize and use energy more efficiently.
Although there could be some relationships involving energy transfer between the species, that would sound more like commensalism or even paratsitism if you think about it. However, it is very uncommon and usually energy has no relationship with species relationships, making it incorrect.
Hope this helps! My deepest apologies if I got in incorrect!
Hormone Signaling. The glands of the endocrine system secrete hormones directly into the extracellular environment. The hormones then diffuse to the bloodstream via capillaries and are transported to the target cells through the circulatory system.
