In addition to your basal metabolic rate, two other factors determine how many calories your body burns each day: Food processing (thermogenesis). Digesting, absorbing, transporting and storing the food you consume also takes calories. This accounts for 100 to 800 of the calories used each day.
(August 2015). Denitrification is a microbially facilitated process of nitrate reduction (performed by a large group of heterotrophic facultative anaerobic bacteria) that may ultimately produce molecular nitrogen (N 2) through a series of intermediate gaseous nitrogen oxide products.enitrification takes place under special conditions in both terrestrial and marine ecosystems. In general, it occurs where oxygen, a more energetically favourable electron acceptor, is depleted, and bacteria respire nitrate as a substitute terminal electron acceptor.
Esterification. Esterification is a chemical reaction used for making esters. The reaction in which a Caboxylic acid combines with an alcohol in the presence of a catalyst (commonly concentrated sulfuric acid) to form an ester [CH 3 COOC 2 H 5 ] is called Esterificatin reaction. It is a reversible reaction. The esters so formed are fruity in odor. They are sweet smelling compound. For example, acetic acid esterification in excess Ethanol in the presence of concentrated H 2 SO 4 as a catalyst results in an ester (ethyl actate) as well as carboxylic acids, with the removal of water molecule. Due to this, esterification reaction is also called ' Dehydration reaction '.
