Answer:

Dissimilatory- oxygen absent

Assimilatory- high concentration of nitrite

Explanation:

In assimilatory nitrate reduction, ammonium is produced and subsequently incorporated into biomass to build up e.g., proteins and nucleic acids. Dissimilatory nitrate reduction is a process for energy conservation, in which nitrate is used as an electron acceptor in the (near) absence of oxygen . Dissimilatory nitrate reduction and nitrate storage in particular are physiological life traits that provide microbes with environmental flexibility (i.e., metabolic activity under both oxic and anoxic conditions) and resource independence (i.e., anaerobic metabolism without immediate nitrate supply), respectively. Such life traits are especially important in environments that are temporarily anoxic and/or nitrate-free and they may have developed as a “life strategy” in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes

kakasveta [241]

Answer:

The correct answer is: False.

Explanation:

  • A Fishery collapse can be defined as the condition in which the composition of different species of fishes forming a food chain or a food web and located in a marine or aquatic community undergoes a drastic alteration.
  • The alternation can be caused due to environmental or anthropological factors.
  • A fishery collapse usually affects the larger fish population like sharks and tuna as their commercial and economic demand is higher.
  • Excessive fishing cause the population of the large fishes to decline without affecting the small fish population.
  • This is because the small fishes do not have high economic or commercial demand, hence they have very less probability of being angled or captured.
