Answer:
characterized by presence or absence of antigens
the blood types are A, B, O, AB
Explanation:
There are two antigens and two antibodies that are mostly responsible for the ABO types. The specific combination of these four components determines an individual's type in most cases. Erythrocytes and serum were related to the presence of antigens on these erythrocytes and antibodies in the serum. these antigens are A and B, and depending upon which antigen the erythrocytes express, blood either belonged to blood group A or blood group B. A third blood group contained erythrocytes that reacted as if they lacked the properties of A and B, and this group was later called "O" blood group. The fourth blood group AB, was added to the ABO blood group system. These erythrocytes expressed both A and B antigens.
Blood group Antigen present on RBC Antibodies in serum Genotype(s)
A antigen A anti-B AA or AO
B antigen B anti-A BB or BO
AB both A and B antigen none AB
O none anti-A and anti-B OO
Hey there,
Well, When taking antibiotics,the antibiotics affect the gut bacteria that help us digest food. Like when you eat alot, you have an upset stomach and alot of times you will then have diarrhea.
Hope this helps.

Answer:
stages of the nitrogen cycle
1. Nitrogen-fixation
Legume plants such as peas, beans and clover contain nitrogen-fixing bacteria. These bacteria live in swellings in the plant roots called nodules. Nitrogen-fixing bacteria convert nitrogen gas from air into a form that plants can use to make proteins.
Free-living nitrogen-fixing bacteria are also found in the soil. When they die the nitrogen they have fixed into their biomass is converted into ammonium.
2. Feeding
Animals consume plant protein, digest it using specific enzymes and absorb the free amino acids.
3. Production of nitrogenous waste products
Animals cannot store excess protein in their bodies. They break it down and turn it into waste products and excrete them from their bodies.
4. Decomposition
Decomposers (some free-living bacteria and fungi) break down animal and plant proteins (from dead organisms) and nitrogenous waste products to release energy. As a result of decomposition nitrogen is released into the soil in the form of ammonium.
5. Nitrification
A group of free-living soil bacteria called nitrifying bacteria convert ammonium into nitrates in order to obtain energy.
6. Uptake of nitrates
Non-legume plants absorb nitrates from the soil into their roots and use the nitrates to produce their proteins.
7. Denitrification
This is when bacteria in the soil convert the nitrate back into nitrogen gas which then gets released back into the atmosphere.
