Nitrogen gas is a chemically inert molecule. The prokaryotes that fix-nitrogen produce the enzyme nitrogenase. What does this enzyme do that allows these organisms to use nitrogen gas? (Hint: You might want to consult a chemistry book to help you with this answer.)

In biological nitrogen fixation (N2, ammonia, hydrogen, oxygen), is (Reduced, oxidized) when it accepts atoms, resulting in the production of (nitrogen gas, nitrate, water, ammonia ) .

Legumes produce (nitrogen, nitrogenase, lehemoglobin,oxygen ,bacteria) , which regulates the amount of (nitrogen, nitrogenase, lehemoglobin,oxygen ,bacteria) present in the root nodule so (nitrogen, nitrogenase, lehemoglobin,oxygen ,bacteria) activity is not inhibited.

Humans and other animals acquire their nitrogen from which of the following? (Choose all correct answers.)

protein from animals that eat other animals

protein from animals that eat plants

plant protein

protein from legumes

The nitrogen sources used by humans are (organic, inorganic) componds, while nitrogen gas is an (organic, inorganic) compound.

briefly explain all the questions, I will give u a thumb,thanks.

1. Discuss two ways that you could positively impact theenvironment related to food production.

2. Select one food that is currently affected by biotechnologyand discuss two advantages and two concerns pertaining to applyingbiotechnology to this food.

3. Find and describe an example of an outbreak of food borneillness in North America in the last 7 years. Include when andwhere the outbreak occurred, the food that caused the outbreak (orwas suspected to have caused the outbreak), the microorganism thatwas responsible for the food borne illness, and the number ofpeople who got sick and or died.

Visit a brewery, bakery, cheese making facility, or any other place that produces food or any other product using protists or fungi (sauerkraut, kombucha, miso). Ask about the organisms they use at the facility (yeast, other fungi, bacteria, etc. You might ask what type of microorganism they use, what does the microorganism "eat," what are optimal conditions, does it make a difference what variety or strain used, etc. Briefly, describe the place including your subjective thoughts. This can include almost anything from your initial impression to the taste of the food to what production facilities looked like.

Also, write a little bit about the science of how the food or product produced. What microorganism do they use? What does it eat? How does it affect the food? Is the microorganism killed off before human consumption or is it still alive and active in the food? If you can't get enough scientific information from the place, you visit you may substitute some information from other sources. If you do use other sources cite them. A term paper is not necessary for this assignment.
