The statement given in the question is FALSE.

Protein molecules are made from amino acids. Structurally, an amino acid is made up of a carboxyl group, an amino group and a unique side group. The amino group of amino acid is composed on nitrogen linked to two hydrogen atoms. Generally, the nitrogen component of all proteins is between the range of 15% to 25%. The quantity of oxygen in proteins also falls within the same range. Thus, the percentage of nitrogen in proteins is not up to 50%.

Which abiotic factor most likely controls where the plants live in this environment
Setler [38]

Which abiotic factor most likely controls where the plants live in this environment ?

Oxygen levels for aquatic animals

Oxygen from the air and oxygen produced by aquatic plants dissolves in water. Without this, aquatic animals would suffocate and die. Healthy lakes and rivers have high levels of oxygen, and polluted waters often have low levels of oxygen. This pollution means that only certain species can survive there such as sludgeworms. These are bioindicator species because their presence or absence informs us about the condition of the habitat.

Carbon dioxide levels for plants

Carbon dioxide is a reactant in photosynthesis which means plants need it to survive. Areas with higher levels of carbon dioxide are more likely to have healthy plants growing. Farmers often release carbon dioxide within their greenhouses to maximise their crop yield. Woodlands often have higher carbon dioxide levels than open grassland, so many plants living in open areas have evolved mechanisms to overcome a shortage of carbon dioxide.
