Does the nitrogen cycle have no atmospheric component?
phosphorus cycle is the only one with no atmospheric component.
Why atmospheric nitrogen and oxygen does not react with each other?
because the molecules of oxygen only react at high temperatures
Bacteria are the only organisms that can?
Bacteria are the only organisms that can convert nitrogen into a usable form. Diazotroph or nitrogen-fixing bacteria are types of bacteria that perform this ability.
Are cytoskeletons in prokaryotes?
No it is absent in prokaryotes. They are only in eukaryotes.
What do nitrogen fixing bacteria use to split molecules of nitrogen gas and combine the nitrogen atoms with hydrogen?
Nitrogenase enzyme is used by nitrogen fixing bacteria to split molecules of nitrogen gas and combine the nitrogen atoms with hydrogen.Nitrogenase is the enzyme used by some organisms to fix atmospheric nitrogen gas (N2). It is the only known family of enzymes which accomplishes this process
Does the nitrogen cycle have no atmospheric component?
phosphorus cycle is the only one with no atmospheric component.
Bacteria are the only organisms that can be what?
Transform atmospheric nitrogen into ammonia.
How hot is liquid nitrogen?
At the atmospheric pressure, liquid nitrogen only exists in temperatures below 177 K.
What atmospheric gas can only be used by plants when transformed by bacteria first?
Nitrogen
Why atmospheric nitrogen and oxygen does not react with each other?
because the molecules of oxygen only react at high temperatures
Are Golgi bodies in bacteria?
No. Prokaryotes have no need of protein modification and the ability to ship proteins out of the only cell they are.
Bacteria are the only organisms that can?
Bacteria are the only organisms that can convert nitrogen into a usable form. Diazotroph or nitrogen-fixing bacteria are types of bacteria that perform this ability.
What is biological fixation?
it is The ability to fix nitrogen is found only in certain bacteria and archaea.
How do plants and animals differ in the ways they obtain nitrogen?
Plants get it from bacteria which live associated with their roots who take atmospheric nitrogen and fixate it (nitrogen cycle). Animals can only get it by ingesting organic compounds which contain nitrogen, such as plants and other animals which have eaten plants.
What are two ways that nitrogen is fixed so plants can use it?
The only forms of nitrogen compounds that living things can make use of are ammonia compounds and nitrate compounds.These are called "fixed nitrogen". Animals obtain the nitrogen they need from proteins in the plants and/or animals they eat. Proteins are amino acid polymers and amino acids are built around an ammonia group.
Are cytoskeletons in prokaryotes?
No it is absent in prokaryotes. They are only in eukaryotes.
Is phytoplankton prokaryotic?
They are eukaryotes, not prokaryotes. Only backeria can be prokaryotes.
