Nitrification. The conversion of ammonium to nitrate is performed primarily by soil-living bacteria and other nitrifying bacteria. In the primary stage of nitrification, the oxidation of ammonium ( NH+4) is performed by bacteria such as the Nitrosomonas species, which converts ammonia to nitrites ( NO−2).
The answer should be C. <span>Im not 100% sure though. the geosphere makes up the earth and its atmosphere as the lithosphere and its hydrosphere. </span>
Answer:
The answer is - True
Explanation:
It is true that according to research the genes that affect energy balance in the body effectively promote energy intake and weight gain but are inefficient to promote energy expenditure and weight loss. This is because it is likely to be a polygenic condition such that there are numerous genes in interaction. Therefore the genes that promote energy intake and weight gain are insufficient to promote weight loss and energy expenditure which is the required energy to carry out physical activities such as breathing, exercising, etc.
Answer:
The cell interior would experience higher than normal Na+ concentrations and lower than normal K+ concentrations.
Explanation:
Na+/K+ ATPase exists in two forms: Its phosphorylated form has a high affinity for K+ and low affinity for Na+. ATP hydrolysis and phosphorylation of the Na+/K+ pump favor the release of Na+ outside the cell and binding of K+ ions from the outside of the cell. Dephosphorylation of the pump increases its affinity for Na+ and reduces that for K+ ions resulting in the release of K+ ions inside the cells and binding to the Na+ from the cells.
The presence of ATP analog would not allow the pump to obtain its phosphorylated form. Therefore, Na+ ions would not be released outside the cells. This would increase the Na+ concentration inside the cell above the normal. Similarly, the pump would not be able to pick the K+ from the outside of the cell resulting in reduced cellular K+ concentration below the normal range.
If a pesticide that inhibits acetylcholinesterase is present in a muscle, THE MUSCLE WILL BE CONTRACTING REPEATEDLY.
The enzyme, acetylcholinesterase is the one responsible for the termination of muscle contraction, when this enzyme is deactivated, the muscle contraction will not be turned off and the concerned muscle will contracts repeatedly.
