Answer:

Either through bacteria or lightning

Explanation:

Nitrogen can be converted directly to nitrates through lightning.

It can also be converted to ammonia (NH3) through free-living nitrogen fixing bacteria e.g <em>Azotobacter</em> or fixed on plants by symbiotic micro-organisms e.g <em>Rhizobium</em>. The Ammonia formed is converted to Nitrites (NO2) by nitrifying bacteria e.g <em>Nitrococcus</em> bacteria. The Nitrites are converted to nitrates by other nitrifying bacteria e.g<em> Nitrobactor</em>

Nitrification. The conversion of ammonium to nitrate is performed primarily by soil-living bacteria and other nitrifying bacteria. In the primary stage of nitrification, the oxidation of ammonium ( NH+4) is performed by bacteria such as the Nitrosomonas species, which converts ammonia to nitrites ( NO−2).

During the process of photosynthesis,
TEA [102]

Answer:

d. less than 100% of the energy captured from sunlight is transformed into potential energy in the form of a hydrogen ion gradient and then into potential energy in the form of covalent bonds

Explanation:

Photosynthesis is process utilized by plants, several bacteria and protists to convert the light energy to chemical energy. So they utilize the photosynthesis as the powerhouse for the energy production. Heterotrophs like human that cannot synthesize their own food, use this converted form of energy by autotrophs.

During the light reaction of photosynthesis the photons from light are absorbed by photosystem I and II. These photons excites the electrons which flow through the electron transport chain from higher potential to lower potential. These electrons release the energy while moving from higher potential to lower potential which is utilized by H+ pump to pump the H+ to lumen of plastids from stroma and of course not the 100% energy is utilized some of the energy dissipates. . So this process causes the accumulation of high potential H+ ions across the membrane. These H+ ions are utilized for the production of ATP by ATP synthase complex when they flow back to lower potential across the membrane through ATP synthase complex.

The ATP and NADPH produced from light reaction are utilized to combine carbon molecules during dark reaction. The covalent bond is used to combine the carbon molecules and we know that combining carbon molecules stores energy in the form of covalent bond.

How are the growth and development of a baby related to the process of mitosis? weight is increased by adding new cells. mitosis
erma4kov [3.2K]
Mitosis is how we repair our cells and grow. It is the process of cell division. When you get a cut or you're a kid growing up, your cells are constantly dividing themselves to repair that cut or two add to your growing body. it takes 24 hours for a human cell to divide itself. This is always occurring from the day you were born.
