The nitrogen cycle involves the movement of atmospheric nitrogen
through a series of nitrifying bacteria, which process the nitrogen
into forms that can be absorbed and used by other living organisms,
Which of the following paths best represent the correct order of this
process, starting with atmospheric nitrogen and ending with a form
of nitrogen that most plants (producers) can use?
Select one:
O a. N2(g) → ammonium → nitrite → nitrate
-
b. nitrite →→ ammonium →→ N2(g) →→ nitrate
-
c. nitrate → N2(g) → ammonium → nitrate
d. ammonium nitrate → nitrite → N2(g)

Amazingly these known capabilities only come form the 1-10% of prokaryotes that have been identified. Scientists hypothesize that at least 90% are undiscovered and have potential metabolic capabilities we could harness to benefit human life. If you were a scientist, what metabolic capability of bacteria would you try to discover to solve a human or environmental problem? Why?arrow_forwardIS IT A FACT OR A BLUFF? 1. Bacterial genetic material is composed single stranded DNA as compared to human DNA which is double stranded. 2. Just like humans, all microbes need oxygen to grow and reproduce. 3. There are no living microbes in volcanic vent and in hot spring because microbes die at very high temperature. 4. Most bacteria growth is retarded at low temperature. 5. Bacterial ATP production happens in the mitochondria which is the powerhouse of the cell. After identifying your answer whether fact or bluff, you need to give justification to your answer. You Justification should be given in not more that 50 words.arrow_forward
