Nitrogen is often used in street racing cars to fill the tires because it provides more stable tire pressure and helps maintain consistent performance during races. Some street racers also use nitrogen in their engine cooling systems to prevent overheating during high-speed runs.
Front rubbing is a term used in Formula 1 racing to refer to cars making contact with each other due to close racing. It typically occurs when two cars are side by side and make slight contact with their front wheels. This can create sparks and often leads to damage to the cars involved.
A category type W16 refers to a classification for sports car racing used by the FIA (Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile). It designates cars with specific engine configurations (such as a 16-cylinder engine) and weight regulations for competition in races like the 24 Hours of Le Mans. The W16 category is known for featuring high-performance, purpose-built racing cars.
Nitrogen is a chemical element, N.
No, animals do not take in nitrogen directly from the atmosphere. They obtain nitrogen through consuming plants or other animals that have already processed nitrogen into organic compounds. Nitrogen fixation by certain bacteria in the soil or symbiotic organisms in plants helps convert atmospheric nitrogen into forms that can be used by animals.
Nitrogen fixing bacteria use an enzyme called nitrogenase to split molecules of nitrogen gas (N2) and combine the nitrogen atoms with hydrogen to form ammonia (NH3) through a process called nitrogen fixation. This ammonia is then used by plants as a source of nitrogen to synthesize amino acids and proteins.
