How is nitrogen pollution processed by the wetland

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:  In the wetland, nitrates are absorbed by plants or converted (through an anaerobic process called denitrification) to nitrogen gas and lost to the atmosphere. Nitrate-N is efficiently removed from wetland surface waters by aquatic plants. Ammonium-N enters wetlands primarily through surface runoff.

Answer 2
Answer:

Final answer:

Nitrogen pollution in wetlands is processed through the nitrogen cycle involving ammonification, nitrification, and denitrification, conducted by various bacteria and fungi. These processes recycle nitrogenous waste and send it back to the atmosphere, the ocean floor, or the terrestrial food web as organic nitrogen.

Explanation:

Nitrogen pollution, resultant from human activities like burning of fossil fuels and use of artificial fertilizers, can be processed by wetlands through a biological process known as the nitrogen cycle. The cycle involves three steps: ammonification, nitrification, and denitrification. In the ammonification process, nitrogenous waste is converted into ammonia (NH3) by bacteria and fungi. This ammonia is then oxidized to nitrite (NO₂), and then to nitrate (NO3) in the nitrification process by soil bacteria such as Nitrosomonas. Finally, in the process of denitrification, soil bacteria like Pseudomonas and Clostridium, convert nitrate into nitrogen gas that reenters the atmosphere. Some of this nitrogen also settles into the ocean floor as sediment and becomes incorporated into terrestrial rock. Nitrogen thus processed by the wetland becomes the organic nitrogen required by the terrestrial food web.

Unlike weather, climate

Answers

Climate is best described as C. THE LONG-TERM AVERAGE OF WEATHER VARIATIONS IN A SPECIFIC AREA.

The long term average being 30 years. These weather variations are affected by the temperature, precipitation, and wind.

Climate determinants include latitude, altitude, proximity to mountains and oceans, proportion of land to water, thermohaline circulation of the ocean, ocean currents, density and type of vegetation present in an area, as well as the areas' water retention and rainfall.

Climate are classified into three groups. These are Bergeron and Spatial Synoptic, Koppen, and Thornthwaite.

Before starch can enter a cell, it must be(1) absorbed by simple sugars
(2) diffused into simple sugars
(3) digested to form simple sugars
(4) actively transported by simple sugars

Answers

Starch are macromolecules that are made of monomers that are simple sugars. Cells are microscopic and they can only absorb small substances. Therefore starch needs to be digested in other words broken down into simpler substances that can be taken in by cells. Therefore before starch can enter a cell it must be 3) digested to form simple sugars

Answer:

The correct answer is 3. Hope this helps! Best of luck to you. :)

Why is DNA called semi-comparitive

Answers

DNA is called semi-comparitive because each helix that is created has one strand from the helix which is why it is copied 

Hope this helps you know where to fine me ^-^

Because each cell that is created has one strand from the cell it was copied from. The replication of the cell results in two daughter cells which contains one of the origninal parent cells.
