Answer:

Hope this helps....

Explanation:

Nitrogen-fixing bacteria convert free nitrogen gas into nitrogen compounds. ... Bacterias that are decomposers recycle nitrogen compounds in the soil by breaking down animal wastes and dead plants and animals. 3. Other bacteria break down nitrogen compounds and release free nitrogen back into the air.

Answer:

The most important part of the cycle is bacteria. Bacteria help the nitrogen change between states so it can be used. When nitrogen is absorbed by the soil, different bacteria help it to change states so it can be absorbed by plants. Animals then get their nitrogen from the plants.

Younger fossils are often morphologically different from older fossils in a lineage. How do paleontologists think the morphologi

photoshop1234 [79]

Answer:

Paleontologists thinks that the younger fossils are a species that underwent an-agenesis, gradually evolving a new morphology or/and the younger fossils are a new species that branched off the older one, rapidly evolving a new morphology.

Explanation:

Fossils are the safeguarded remains or hints of creatures, plants, and different life forms from an earlier time. Fossils range in age from 10,000 to 3.48 billion years of age. The perception that specific fossils were related with certain stone layers drove nineteenth century geologists to perceive a land timescale. Like surviving life forms, fossils differ in size from minuscule, similar to single-celled microscopic organisms, to monstrous, similar to dinosaurs and trees.

Fossils give strong proof that living beings from the past are not equivalent to those discovered today; fossils show a movement of advancement. Fossils, alongside the similar life systems of present-day life forms, comprise the morphological, or anatomical, record.

By contrasting the life structures of both present day and terminated species, paleontologists can deduce the ancestries of those species. This methodology is best for life forms that had hard body parts, for example, shells, bones or teeth. The subsequent fossil record recounts the account of the past and shows the development of structure more than a great many years.

The papillary muscles contract after the other ventricular muscles so that they can take up the slack on the chordae tendineae b

pogonyaev

Answer:

FALSE

Explanation:

Papillary muscles are found in the bottom chambers of the heart and attaches to the tricuspid and bicuspid valve through tendons to facilitate blood flow during systole. It also prevent prolapse. These muscles contract before the contraction of ventricular muscles (or before the contraction of ventricles) by pulling chordae tendinae till the ventricles are relaxed. This helps in preparing the valves for high ventricular pressure

Hence, the given statement is false

How is cytokinesis different in animals and plants? Animal cells get pinched into two daughter cells by the cell membrane; the p

jasenka [17]

<h2>Let's review what cytokinesis is first.</h2>

Cytokensis is the physical process of cell division. It divides the cytoplasm of a parental cell into two different daughter cells.

In plants, a cell wall forms. Cytokensis occurs in mitosis and meiosis. The objective for cytokensis is to divide the parent cell into two daughter cells. So cytokensis in plants is when a cell wall forms in between the daughter cells. Plant cells have walls, so they CANNOT divide using a cleavage furrow. A cell plate forms across the cell during telophase.

In animal cells, cleavage furrow forms. This pinches the cell in half and forms two different cells.

A cleavage furrow is an indentation that appears in the cells surface when the cell is preparing to divide.

So, let's review our options:

A: Animal cells get pinched into two daughter cells by the cell membrane; the plant cell has to form a cell plate before it can create daughter cells.

This would be the correct answer. The only main difference between animal cell cytokensis vs plant cell cytokensis is the cell wall that animal cells lack. Animal cells get pinched into two daughter cells, by the cleavage furrow in the cell membrane, while the plant cell has to form a cell plate before it can create daughter cells.

B: Animal cells give daughter cells a full set of chromosomes at the time of division; plant cells give daughter cells a half set of chromosomes. .

This can be disproven. In meosis, a cell divides into four cells that have half the number of chromosomes. In mitosis, all chromosomes are kept. Both Plant & Animal cells both reproduce using both both meosis and mitosis, so this option is irrelevant.

C: Animal cells require an extra grow phase before cytokensis; plant cells move straight to cytokensis.

Both animal cells and plant cells have the same amount of "grow phases" before cytokensis. This option is irrelevant.

D: Animal cells begin cytokensis during anaphase, plant cells begin around the same time as telophase.

They both begin during the same time. This option is also irrelevant.
