Give a brief description of how the nitrogen cycle works

1 answer:

4 0

Well, at first, special bacteria convert the nitrogen gas (otherwise known as N2) to ammonia (otherwise known as (NH3) so the plants can use it. Then, Nitrification. Nitrification is the process of converting the ammonia to nitrite ions which the plants can take in as nutrients. Third, after all the living organisms use the nutrients, the decomposer bacteria come and convert the nitrogen rich waste compounds to simpler ones. Fourth, and finally, other bacteria converts the simple nitrogen compounds back to nitrogen gas, (otherwise known as N2), which is then released back into the atmosphere to begin the cycle once more.

Why does acid rain adamage mountain lebrty

Marysya12 [62]

Answer:

When sulfurous, sulfuric, and nitric acids in polluted air and rain react with the calcite in marble and limestone, the calcite dissolves. In exposed areas of buildings and statues, we see roughened surfaces, removal of material, and loss of carved details. Stone surface material may be lost all over or only in spots that are more reactive.

Explanation:

You might expect that sheltered areas of stone buildings and monuments would not be affected by acid precipitation. However, sheltered areas on limestone and marble buildings and monuments show blackened crusts that have peeled off in some places, revealing crumbling stone beneath. This black crust is primarily composed of gypsum, a mineral that forms from the reaction between calcite, water, and sulfuric acid. Gypsum is soluble in water; although it can form anywhere on carbonate stone surfaces that are exposed to sulfur dioxide gas (SO2), it is usually washed away. It remains only on protected surfaces that are not directly washed by the rain.

Explain the different levels of cellular organization.

JulijaS [17]

There are 5 different levels of cellular organization.

Cells, tissues, organs, organ systems and whole organisms. Cells hold genetic material and absorb outside energy.

Tissues make up the bones, nerves and connective fibers of the body. Organs work to perform specific bodily tasks, such as filtering blood. Organ systems are groups of organs that perform a specific kind of function together, such as digesting food.

Together, these smaller systems make up an entire living organism which can grow and then go onto reproduce.
