How does inorganic nitrogen from the atmosphere (N2) get into living systems?

Biology
1 answer:
lawyer [7]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

When an organism excretes or dies, nitrogen is in the form of organic nitrogen in its tissues (e.g. amino acids, DNA). During the ammonification process, many fungi and prokaryotes then break the tissue down and release inorganic Nitrogen into the atmosphere as ammonia.

Explanation:

Plants use their roots for nitrogen compounds. When they consume the seeds, animals acquire certain chemicals. When plants and livestock die, or animals excrete waste, the organic nitrogen compounds return to the soil, where microorganisms known as decomposers break down their compounds.

g 20. Name two bones connected by an interosseous membrane found in the crus and/or sural region. Which one is the medial bone
slamgirl [31]

Answer:

Tibia and fibula. Tibia (medial bone)

Explanation:

The tibia is the medial bone of the lower leg (it is the second-largest bone next to the femur), whereas the fibula is the lateral bone of the lower leg. The tibia functions to transmit the majority of the force in the lower leg. The tibia articulates at the proximal end with the femur and fibula; where this bone (tibia) articulates at the distal end with the fibula and the talus bone of the ankle. The tibia and fibula are connected via an interosseous membrane, which is a thin sheet of connective tissue that spans the space between two bones.

In his attempt to develop a pneumonia vaccine, Frederick Griffith injected mice with various combinations of living and dead bac
n200080 [17]

Answer:

The mice died

Explanation:

In Griffith's experiment, two strains of the same bacteria were used. S strain was smooth because it had a polysaccharide coat. This coat also made it virulent because mouse immune system was not able to destroy it and ultimately the mice died. R strain was rough because it did not have the coat and thus was harmless to mice.

When Griffith injected mice with dead S bacteria and living R bacteria together, the mice died. Live R bacteria had taken up the genetic material or as Griffith called "transforming principle" from the dead S bacteria and transformed into S bacteria. So live S bacteria were present again and they killed the mice.
