A student remarks that it is a good thing that humans discovered how to use industrial processes to fix nitrogen because this en
sures that the nitrogen cycle can remain intact if nitrogen-fixing bacteria ever go extinct. Evaluate the accuracy of this statement. A. The statement is accurate because humans are able to fix nitrogen on a large scale that rivals the rate of the process carried out by bacteria. B. The statement is inaccurate because the nitrogen cycle does not depend on nitrogen-fixing bacteria, and their loss would not cause a problem. C. The statement is inaccurate because the product of nitrogen fixation through industrial processes does not have the same biological properties as the product of nitrogen fixation by bacteria. D. The statement is inaccurate because humans would not be able to distribute the product of nitrogen fixation from industrial processes in the same way that bacteria are able to distribute it globally now.
D. The statement is inaccurate because humans would not be able to distribute the product of nitrogen fixation from industrial processes in the same way that bacteria are able to distribute it globally now.
Explanation:
Nitrogen fixing bacteria has the responsibility in nature to trap and fix atmospheric nitrogen in ecosystems. They are very important components of the nitrogen cycle and play an important role in maintaining the balance of nutrients in nature.
If humans discover industrial processes to fix nitrogen, the process will be unsustainable in the long run if nitrogen-fixing bacteria ever go extinct because humans would not be able to distribute the product of nitrogen fixation from industrial processes in the same way that bacteria are able to distribute it globally now across several ecosystems all over the world.
No matter where mitochondrial proteins are made, they are synthesized on Ribosomes that translate messenger RNA into the amino acids that form the protein chain. Most of the proteins in mitochondria function in genome regulation, DNA maintenance, and upkeep of the small percentage of internal mitochondrial proteins.
