Biology
1 answer:
lisabon 2012 [21]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Cancer can develop anywhere in the body. It starts when cells grow out of control and crowd out normal cells. This makes it hard for your body to work the way it should.

For many people, cancer can be treated successfully. In fact, more people than ever before lead full lives after cancer treatment. The cells in our bodies all have certain jobs to do. Normal cells divide in an orderly way. They die when they are worn out or damaged, and new cells take their place. In cancer, the cells keep on growing and making new cells. They crowd out normal cells. This causes problems in the part of the body where the cancer started. They can also spread to other parts of the body.

How do plants and animals get nitrogen if not from the atmosphere?
GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

Our atmosphere (air) is comprised of 78% of nitrogen. However, this nitrogen is in its elementary state (N₂) and therefore is quite inactive, so the plants can not use it directly. Changing the elementary nitrogen into more reactive forms (NH₃, NO₂, HNO₃) is occurring through the process called nitrogen fixation. It is happening via two processes.

First one is physical nitrogen fixation. When some type of atmospheric physical energy (lightning bolt, for example) reacts with N₂, it splits it in two very reactive N atoms, enabling them to react with oxygen in order to form NO₂.

Second process is biological nitrogen fixation. It's done by bacteria, special bacteria living in the soil, able to use elementary nitrogen for its metabolical pathways resulting in production of ammonia, which can be used by plants. It's noteworthy that bacteria are responsible for about 90% of all nitrogen fixation.
