Answer:

ammonium ... nitrites

Explanation:

All living organisms including plants require certain nutrients to sustain their growth. Plants get most of their nutrients from the soil that anchors them. However, some of these nutrients like nitrogen are found in a fixed state and needs to be converted to usable forms. Nitrogen is a key component of living cells as it is used to build certain structures e.g protein, DNA etc. in the cell.

Certain groups of bacteria called NITRIFYING BACTERIA which are capable of using energy from chemical compounds to form organic molecules. They are important aerobic microbes that play a significant role in Agriculture, as in the process of them obtaining nutrients, they help convert ammonium in the soil into nitrites (fixed nitrogen). Groups of nitrifying bacteria that perform this initial task include: Nitrosomonas, Nitrosococcus etc. Other nitrifying bacteria from another genus-Nitrobacter, converts the nitrite into the most usable form by plants (nitrates).

When two new species arise from one original species is called _________________?
horsena [70]
I believe it is called divergent evolution, which is the accumulation of differences between groups which can lead to the formation of new species, usually a result of diffusion of the same species to different and isolated environments which blocks the gene flow among the distinct populations allowing differentiated fixation of characteristics.

Hope this helps! :)

Explain how the development of the cuticle and the vascular system influenced the evolution of plants on land
Black_prince [1.1K]
<span>When plants moved on the land they had to adapt to new environment and </span>to deal with new <span>problems. The main problem for plants was to figure out how to regulate water loss within the cells. One of the solution was the formation of the waxy covering on top of leaves-cuticle, which evolved on the surface of leaves to reduce water loss. Another problem for plants was to figure out how to obtain resources from soil and air, so they developed vascular tissue to transport water/sugar within the plant.</span>
