Nitrogen has to be converted or ‘fixed’ to a more usable form through a process called fixation

Explanation:
Robins are born in the spring or summer and are mature birds and ready to breed in the following spring or summer. They do not mate for life. Pairs usually remain together during an entire breeding season, which can involve two or three nestings. However, in spring, sometimes a male and female who mated the previous year will both return to the same territory and end up together for another year. This happens most frequently when they were successful raising babies the previous year. Robins lay one egg per day, for a total of 5–6 eggs in a clutch. The eggs hatch about 12 - 14 days after the last egg was laid. Baby robins jump from their nest when they are about 13 days old, but the range is 9 - 16 days. After leaving the nest (fledging), it takes another 10-15 days for babies to become strong fliers and independent birds. The parents continue to feed their young during this period.
Most robins die their first year. But the lifespan goes up dramatically for the ones that survive this critical time, because they've learned so many important life skills. Of those that survive their first year, most wild robins live to be about 5 or 6. As of February, 2001, the longest-living banded wild robin ever recorded had survived 13 years and 11 months, according to the Bird Banding Laboratory at the Patuxent Wildlife Research Center. In captivity, robins have survived longer than 17 years.
Answer:
Every amino acid in the chain changes, making the protein not functional
Explanation:
The gene, or sequence of DNA, ultimately determines the unique sequence of amino acids in each peptide chain. A change in nucleotide sequence of the gene's coding region may lead to a different amino acid being added to the growing polypeptide chain, causing a change in protein structure and therefore function.

<h3>A. </h3>
Explanation:
<h3>Tutorial</h3><h3>Diffusion</h3><h3>Diffusion means that the net movement </h3><h3>of particles (molecules) is from an area of high concentration to low concentration.</h3>
<h3>Graph of the simple and facilitated diffusion taking into account the rate of uptake and the concentration</h3>
<h3>If the particles can move through the lipid bilayer by simple diffusion, then there is</h3><h3> no limit to the number that can fit </h3><h3>through the membrane. The rate of diffusion increases linearly as we add </h3><h3>more particles to one side of the membrane.</h3>
<h3>If the particles can only pass through protein channels, then the rate of </h3><h3>diffusion is determined by the number of channels as well as the number of particles.</h3>
<h3>Once the channels operate at their maximal rate, a further increase in </h3><h3>particle numbers no longer increases the apparent rate of diffusion. At this limited rate we describe the protein channel as being saturated.</h3>
<h3>The cartoon illustrates several points about facilitated diffusion. The particles are more concentrated on one side of the membrane, and yet they can move in both directions. However, the net movement is from high particle concentration to low. If the number of particles gets so high on one side of the membrane that they</h3><h3> interfere with diffusion through the </h3><h3>protein channel, then we observe a limit to the rate of diffusion at the point of saturation.</h3>

<h3>Simple diffusion does not require energy: facilitated diffusion requires a source of ATP. Simple diffusion can only move material in the direction of a </h3><h3>concentration gradient; facilitated </h3><h3>diffusion moves materials with and against a concertion gradient. </h3>
