Nitrogen is an essential nutrient for plant growth. But farmers who cultivate pulse crops like green gram, bengal gram,black gram, etc. do not apply nitrogenous fertilizers during cultivation because of following reason
1. Leguminous plants like green gram, bengal gram,black gram contain nitrogen fixing RHIZOBIUM bacteria which convert nitrogen gas of air into nitrogen compounds which can be used by plants for their compounds
2. The nitrogen fixing Rhizohium bacteria live in the root nodules of leguminous plants.
Answer:
Here is the full question:
(A) If a closed container contains a mouse as well as enough food, water, and oxygen for the mouse to live for 3 weeks,
How much will the container weigh 1 and 2 weeks later after the mouse has eaten, drunk and exercised (respiration is CO2 emission), and why?
(B) If the mouse was in a wire cage and only the weights of the mouse, food, and water were considered, would you come to the same answer as in (A) and why?
Explanation:
(A) The mouse will weigh the same. This is because solids, liquid, and gases cannot escape the closed container. All of the life processes involving reactions conserve the atoms involved. Some of those atoms will appear in the form of gases, some as solids, and others as liquids but all will be retained in the closed container.
(B) In a wire cage, gases can escape. This means that the weight will not be the same after 1 and 2 weeks. The weight would be less than the original weight of the mouse, it's food, and it's water.
Protein microarrays, an emerging class of proteomic technologies, are fast becoming critical tools in biochemistry and molecular biology. Two classes of protein microarray are currently available: analytical and functional protein microarrays. Analytical protein microarrays, most antibody microarrays, have become one of the most powerful multiplexed detection technologies. Functional protein microarrays are being increasingly applied to many areas of biological discovery, including studies of protein interaction, biochemical activity, and immune responses. Great progress has been achieved in both classes of protein microarrays in terms of sensitivity, specificity, and expanded application.
