Answer:

One of the most famous water towers in Illinois is the Chicago water tower built in 1869 by William W. Boyington. The huge tower was built to pump water from Lake Michigan.  This tower is a very rare tower because it is also one of the few towers to survive the great chicago fire in 1871. This water tower has had a positive affect on the people of chicago providing water for them.

Answer:

Answer is option D.

Flowers contain parts for making seeds.

Explanation:

The part of the plant that is responsible for the sexual reproduction in plants is known as flowers. A flower is said to be complete if contains sepals, petals, stamens and pistil. If the flower lacks one or more structures, it is an incomplete flower.

A complete flower consists of a vegetative part and a reproductive part. The vegetative part contains petals (a bright coloured structure that attracts insects and birds) and sepals (a green coloured structure that protects rising buds and is usually found beneath the petals). The reproductive parts include stamen or androecium (male reproductive organ) and pistil (female reproductive organ). A flower may consists of only female parts or only male parts, or both.

Stamen contains two parts - anther, which produce and store the pollens (male gametes) and filament, which support the anther. Pistil contains three parts - stigma, which receives the pollen grains and style that connects stigma and the ovary, and ovary which contains a lot of ovules (female gametes) which forms the seed.  

Flowers reproduce by pollination, a process in which the pollen are transferred to the stigma of another flower. A pollen tube emerges from the pollen grain and grows through the style and reaches an ovule inside the ovary. Then the nucleus of the pollen grain passes through the pollen tube and fuses with the nucleus of the ovule and this process is known as fertilisation. The fertilised ovules become seeds and the ovary transforms into the fruit. The seeds are dispersed through various methods and the embryo inside them will grow into adult plants.

Gennadij [26K]

The correct answer is A. An infection that migrates via the bloodstream

Explanation:

Osteomyelitis is a serious condition, in which an infection develops in bones. This causes symptoms such as pain, inflammation, and can lead to the spread of the infection to other tissues or bone necrosis if it is not treated. In terms of causes, this condition develops when the bone is exposed to bacteria or similar that causes the infection, this can occur during surgeries or fractures. However, the most common source of infection is via bloodstream this means the bacteria or germ is in the blood and it enters the bone through the bloodstream. Also, once the bacteria or germ is in the bone it causes the infection.

Nitrogen is a nutrient that organisms need to produce (12) . Plants and animals cannot use the nitrogen that makes up a large pe
Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

12. Protein 13. Atmosphere 14. Nitrogen fixation 15. Plants 16. Consumers 17. Urinate 18. Decay 19. Decomposers 20. Ammonia 21. Denitrification

Explanation:

<em>12. Protein</em>

Nitrogen is essential to organisms. It is the main constituent of amino acids, which is the building blocks of protein in organisms.

<em>13. Atmosphere</em>

Nitrogen occurs naturally as gas in the earth’s atmosphere, accounts for about 78% of gases found in the atmosphere. This gaseous Nitrogen which is inert cannot be accessed by plants and animals for use.

<em>14. Nitrogen fixation</em>

For plants to be able to use the gaseous Nitrogen in the atmosphere, Nitrogen fixation has to take place. It involves the turning of gaseous Nitrogen in the atmosphere into ammonia. Nitrogen atoms is combined with Hydrogen atoms by  enzyme called “nitrogenase”. This enzyme is present in nitrogen-fixing bacteria.  

<em>15. Plants </em>

Nitrogen enters the food web when plants assimilate nitrogen compounds from the soil to form nucleotides, amino acids, and other important chemicals in life.

<em>16. Consumers </em>

Consumers are mainly animals that feed on plants in an ecological food web in other to be able to use the amino and nucleic acids formed from Nitrogen as a major component. Consumers can be categorized as primary, secondary, and tertiary consumers.

<em>17. Urinate </em>

Nitrogen is very much concentrated in the urine of animals and also in their faeces. As animals urinate, Nitrogen is being returned to the soil.

<em>18. Decay </em>

Decay starts, as organisms die. The organisms start decomposing.

<em>19. Decomposers </em>

Decomposers are the bacteria in the soil that break down the nucleic and amino acids in dead organisms into nitrates and ammonia through a process called ammonification

<em>20. Ammonia </em>

This is the end result of the decomposition of dead organisms by decomposers

<em>21. Denitrification </em>

Compounds of nitrogen are turned back into gaseous nitrogen by anaerobic bacteria. This prevents
