Answer:

The nitrites and ammonia will accumulate as a result.

Explanation:

The nitrifying bacteria are the responsible to change ammonia and nitrites  into nitrates.  

As the nitrogen cycle, is a path in which the compounds go in certain direction, if you don´t have a point, or is stop, the flow can not pass. As the nitrates are salts, that need to return to the atmosphere as free nitrogen, but if we can not obtain nitrates from this process, the nitrogen into air can not be release.

Consider a field plot containing 200 kg of plant material. Approximately how many kg of carnivore production can be supported? A
mixas84 [53]

Answer:

E) 2

Explanation:

The energy transfer through the food chain is not 100% from one consumer to another, or from the producer to the primary consumer, but instead it is around 10%. This means that if a producer has the 100% of energy, as it is the one that produces it, the primary consumer will only get 10% of its energy while consuming it, while the predator of the the primary consumer will only 10% from the primary consumer, or rather only 1% from the energy of the producer. In this case we have 200 kg of plant material. The plant material represents a producer, thus it is the one with 100% of energy. A herbivore will eat the plant material, getting 10% of its energy, thus this plant material is supporting about 20 kg of herbivore. The predator of the herbivore gets only 10% from the herbivore's energy, or only 1% of the producer's energy, thus only 2 kg of predator can be supported by the initial plant material.

Define groundwater, and list some anthropogenic (human) sources of groundwater pollution. Why do many scientists consider ground
joja [24]

Explanation:

Groundwater is the freshwater present below the earth's surface. It originates from the rain, ice, melting snow.

Some anthropogenic sources of groundwater pollution are

  • Aluminum.
  • Sulfur.
  • Arsenic.
  • Nitrates.
  • Fluoride.

Groundwater pollution has more problems than surface water pollution because groundwater is mostly hidden and it is very difficult to view, manage and monitor.

Groundwater holds its contamination and pollutants that cause pollution whereas surface water rinses their contamination and pollutants.

The almost pure cellulose obtained from the seed threads of Gossypium (cotton) is tough, fibrous, and completely insoluble in wa
olga55 [171]

Answer:

Cellulose is held by beta 1,4-glycosidic bonds making it linear while Glycogen is held by an alpha 1,4-glycosidic bond making it highly branched.

Explanation:

Cellulose and Glycogen are both carbohydrate polysaccharides formed from glucose monomers. According to the question, cellulose is a tough, fibrous, and insoluble (in water) polymer found to play a structural role in plants' cell wall while Glycogen is another polymer obtained from muscle or liver and disperses readily in hot water to make a turbid solution.

Although these two polysaccharides (cellulose and glycogen) are linked by (1, 4)-glycosidic bonds but the glucose monomers in CELLULOSE are linked by a beta 1,4-glycosidic, hence, making it a straight or linear polymer

GLYCOGEN, on the other hand, is linked by an alpha 1,4-glycosidic bond making it an highly branched polymer. This structure is responsible for the different physical properties of the two molecules.
