Answer:
B) Nitrogen-fixing bacteria and lightning
Explanation:
Nitrogen cycle is the natural process in which atmospheric nitrogen is converted into nitrite and nitrate with the help of bacteria.
Nitrogen cycle is directly dependent on nitrogen-fixing bacteria and lightning.
As bacteria are responsible for most of the chemical conversion in the nitrogen cycle such as nitrogen fixation (first step) is done by soil bacteria (Cyanobacteria) that form ammonia, which is toxic to plants; nitrification in which ammonia is converted into nitrites and nitrates with the help of Nitrobacter and denitrification bacteria involve Pseudomonas, and Achromobacter which convert nitrite and nitrate into nitrogen.
The lightning breaks nitrogen molecules and allow it to combine with oxygen in atmosphere which further dissolve in rain and form nitrates.
Hence, the nitrogen cycle is most directly dependent upon nitrogen-fixing bacteria and lightning and the correct option is B.
Answer:
Nucleic acids are polymers of individual nucleotide monomers. Each nucleotide is composed of three parts: a 5-carbon sugar, a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base.
No, bigger organisms have more cells.
Answer: A - Rods are more numerous than cones
Explanation: Rods are found everywhere in the retina except the fovea (a tiny pocket in the retina where just about all of the cones are located).
B. The macula lutea is another word for fovea, no rods are found there.
C. Rods are utilized in low-light conditions and are not <em>sensitive</em> to wavelengths of light.
D. Cones are responsible for perceiving color and not rods.
E. The main function of the rods is to help us see in low-light conditions (scotopic vision), so this answer would be incorrect.
