Describe how nitrogen in proteins in dead leaves is recycled to be absorbed by plants? Please help!

Answer:

stages of the nitrogen cycle

1. Nitrogen-fixation

Legume plants such as peas, beans and clover contain nitrogen-fixing bacteria. These bacteria live in swellings in the plant roots called nodules. Nitrogen-fixing bacteria convert nitrogen gas from air into a form that plants can use to make proteins.

Free-living nitrogen-fixing bacteria are also found in the soil. When they die the nitrogen they have fixed into their biomass is converted into ammonium.

2. Feeding

Animals consume plant protein, digest it using specific enzymes and absorb the free amino acids.

3. Production of nitrogenous waste products

Animals cannot store excess protein in their bodies. They break it down and turn it into waste products and excrete them from their bodies.

4. Decomposition

Decomposers (some free-living bacteria and fungi) break down animal and plant proteins (from dead organisms) and nitrogenous waste products to release energy. As a result of decomposition nitrogen is released into the soil in the form of ammonium.

5. Nitrification

A group of free-living soil bacteria called nitrifying bacteria convert ammonium into nitrates in order to obtain energy.

6. Uptake of nitrates

Non-legume plants absorb nitrates from the soil into their roots and use the nitrates to produce their proteins.

7. Denitrification

This is when bacteria in the soil convert the nitrate back into nitrogen gas which then gets released back into the atmosphere.

Mitochondria and chloroplasts
Grace [21]

Answer:

C. prokaryotic cells

Definitions

The Mitochondrion is an organelle in the cytoplasm of cells that functions in energy production.

Chloroplast is usually defined as a plastic containing chlorophyll.

Chlorophyll is the green coloring matter of leaves and plants, essential to the production in a bluish-black form, C55H72MgN405 (chlorophyll a), and a dark-green form, C55H70MgN4O6 (chlorophyll b).  

A root cell is one of the maestro cells in the human organic structure that has possible ability of turning into any of the more than the organic structure's 200 cell types.  

Prokaryotes is any cellular organism that has no nuclear membrane, no organelles in the cytoplasm except ribosomes, and has its genetic material in the form of single continuous strands forming coils or loops, characteristic of all organisms in the kingdom Monera, as the bacteria and blue-green algae.

<h2>What are the similarities and differences between prokaryotes, mitochondria, and chloroplasts?</h2>

Both mitochondria and heterotrophic prokaryotes, as well as chloroplasts and autotrophic prokaryotes, have a genetic structure (DNA with a circular double helix shape and the genes themselves), as well as comparable ribosome types. In reality, the endosymbiotic idea is based on these parallels.

Reil [10]

Answer:

A nerve is actually a long threadlike bundle of dendrites that conduct electrical impulses. Dendrite word derived from the Greek word 'dendron' which means tree. They carry messages in the form of electrical impulses to cell body, there are also wire like nerves called axon.
