Nitrogen Cycle steps:
N molecules breaking apart via nitrogen-fixing bacteria.
Animals ingest nitrogen in nitrate-containing food after plants use nitrogen-containing compounds.
The organic matter decays via decomposers
N2 is formed via denitrifying bacteria.
Explanation:
The nitrogen-fixing bacteria removes atmospheric nitrogen by fixing nitrogen through nitrification. The atmospheric nitrogen cannot be absorbed by plants and hence has to be converted into nitrates. This conversion takes place by nitrifying bacteria present in leguminous plants.
Animals (herbivores) consume the plants that have absorbed nitrogen/
When these animals die, decomposing bacteria acts on the dead organic matter, decomposition takes place through ammonification, converting the organic nitrates into ammonia
The nitrates are converted back again to nitrogen by the action of denitrifying bacteria.
The nitrogen thus formed is released to the atmosphere
Milk is converted to yogurt under certain conditions when the microorganisms in the milk produce acid. Which of these processes would you expect to be key in the production of yogurt?
a. Photosynthesis
b. Lactic acid fermentation
c. Krebs cycle
d. Alcoholic fermentation
Answer:
b. Lactic acid fermentation
Explanation:
Lactic acid fermentation occurs when pyruvate formed by glycolysis is reduced into lactate under the anaerobic conditions. The NADH serves as an electron donor for the reduction of pyruvate into lactic acid. Lactic acid bacteria are the anaerobic bacteria that ferment the milk sugar lactose into lactic acid. This converts the milk into yogurt. <em>Lactobacillus, Streptococcus salivarius</em>, etc. are mostly responsible for the conversion of milk into yogurt.
The answer is <span>B. immune cells that are destroyed by HIV
CD4+ are immune cells (white blood cells) and are an important part of the immune system. Their name comes from the presence of CD4 glycoprotein on their surface. HIV uses CD4 glycoproteins on the surface of CD4+ cells to entry into the cells. The consequence is a reduced number of those cells. Therefore, CD4+ immune cells are destroyed by HIV.</span>
