Textbook Question

Chapter 19, Problem 3AQ

Design an experiment to solve the following problem: Determine the rate of methanogenesis (CO₂ + 4 H₂ → CH₄ + 2 H₂O) in anoxic lake sediments and whether or not it is H₂-limited. Also, determine the morphology of the dominant methanogen (recall that these are Archaea, Chapter 19, Problem 3AQ, Design an experiment to solve the following problem: Determine the rate of methanogenesis (CO2 + 4 Section 17.2). Finally, calculate what percentage the dominant methanogen is of the total archaeal and total prokaryotic populations in the sediments. Remember to specify necessary controls.

1:42 PM ១ 99% Apart from food, plants need other nutrients like water and minerals. Nitrogen, a mineral, is an important part of all living cells. All organisms need nitrogen in order to grow and repair. Although nitrogen exists in its elemental form in the atmosphere, it cannot be directly used by plants. 7 Where else can plants obtain their nitrogen from? Plants make their own nitrogen. B Plants get it from animals. Plants get it from the soil. D Plants have special structures to break down atmospheric nitrogen. v3.7.63.140.4 | 6763e9417a3dbb80fa0f87b2 | Dec 19, 2024 | 3:07 PM | 84126 | en_8
