Nitrogen is an important element in compound such as , DNA, & chlorophyll. Nitrogen is the most gas in the atmosphere. It cycles from the to & back to . But living things cannot use it in its gas form, therefore living things get from the . 1. Living organisms cannot use simple nitrogen molecules (NH2). 2. Living things take it in as a nitrate (NO3-). 3. Nitrate is formed when nitrogen is combined with oxygen. This process is called nitrogen .

Which of the following examples can cause gene flow between populations? a. an increase in predators to a population of zebra b. a volcanic eruption that kills half of a population of mice c. bird droppings that contain seeds from a different location d. a person that sprays a toxin on a group of mosquitoes

Now it's your turn to investigate human impact around the world. grab your virtual lab coat and put on your environmental science hat. you will be taking a trip around the globe to explore three locations. at each location, you will investigate the cause and effect relationships of deforestation, desertification, and urbanization. you will also gather evidence of how these factors have impacted the environment over time

The tasmanian devil, a marsupial carnivore, is facing extinction due to devil facial tumor disease (dftd) which causes bulging cancerous lumps and lesions to erupt around the face and neck — often causing enough deformation to make seeing or eating difficult. dftd has evolved into a contagious cancer, a trait that is unique among cancers. devil mating behavior involves biting around the head and neck, allowing cells from one individual — especially cells from the crumbly dftd tumors — to be transferred to the wounds or face of a new individual. this marsupial was once found across australia, but sea levels rose, isolating the tasmanian population, while the australian population went extinct. what would be an outcome of genetic isolation that is likely to have impacted the spread of dftd? a) reduced territory puts diseased individuals in greater contact with non-diseased ones. b) inbreeding results in less variation in facial features so the cancer is generally fatal. c) genetic isolation has made it difficult for scientists to develop a vaccine against dftd. d) the lack of genetic variation in the immune system of tasmanian devils minimizes resistance to the disease.
