Animals need various nutrients in order to live and grow. Nitrogen, for example, is a nutrient that is needed to form molecules found in genetic material. How do animals obtain nitrogen? A. They eat plants which have absorbed nitrogen from the soil. B. They create nitrogen in their bodies using other nutrients as building blocks. C. They breathe in and absorb nitrogen gas from the atmosphere. D. all of these

It's A

Explanation:

Animals get the nitrogen they need by eating plants or other animals that contain nitrogen. When organisms die, their bodies decompose bringing the nitrogen into soil on land or into ocean water. Bacteria alter the nitrogen into a form that plants are able to use.

"among the transition metal elements, manganese and zinc have a slight lowering of electronegativities. the reason behind this is that the nuclear charges of these elements are slightly weaker than the other transition metal elements due to the way their valence electrons are filled up. both manganese and zinc have their valence electrons filled up to the 4th shell with 1 pair of electrons (4s2) completely occupying it. although the electrons in the 3rd shell (3d) are yet to be paired since the outer most shell is filled up, the ability of the nucleus to attract electrons is lessened. hence,   the electronegativity (or the ability to attract electrons) is lessened."

it is a solid
