Biology

No, many predators kill young and healthy prey, as well as old and sick. It really just depends on the type of predator and the situation. A pack of wolves may prey on an old elk because they are small and that is easier for them to kill, while a lion may prey on a young gazelle.

How does inorganic nitrogen from the atmosphere<br> (N2) get into living systems?
lawyer [7]

Answer:

When an organism excretes or dies, nitrogen is in the form of organic nitrogen in its tissues (e.g. amino acids, DNA). During the ammonification process, many fungi and prokaryotes then break the tissue down and release inorganic Nitrogen into the atmosphere as ammonia.

Explanation:

Plants use their roots for nitrogen compounds. When they consume the seeds, animals acquire certain chemicals. When plants and livestock die, or animals excrete waste, the organic nitrogen compounds return to the soil, where microorganisms known as decomposers break down their compounds.
