Answer: Atmospheric Nitrogen is unreactive
Explanation:
The atmosphere is made up of about 80% Nitrogen, 16% oxygen, about 4% carbon dioxide, rare gases etc.
However, the 80% Nitrogen is highly unreactive, and needs to be trapped by competent micro organisms known as nitrogen-fixing bacteria in the root nodules of legumes.
Then, it is converted to several forms like nitrites, nitrates (easily absorbed by plants), ammonia and finally escape to the atmosphere again.
This brief illustration explains the NITROGEN CYCLE, and it is the only means by which plants and animals can use the highly unreactive nitrogen
Answer:
The presence of an additional chromosome
Explanation:
Look at "pair" 21. See how there are THREE chromosomes instead of TWO? Normally, there would only be two chromosomes in each pair but this karyotype shows a trisomy (see def. below) of the 21st pair. This was caused by a nondisjunction mutation of the 21st pair. The is also the karyotype of a person with Down's Syndrome.
Definition of Trisomy:
A condition of the presence of three chromosomes in a pair instead of two. This normally causes developmental irregularity.
Answer:
Eventually the IR photons escape into space, but some make several round trips between the ground and the atmosphere before they depart. Along the way, a lot of energy is transferred to the ground and the atmosphere. That energy becomes heat which warms Earth's surface and its atmosphere.
