Question

2. Draw a neat diagram to show nitrogen cycle and explain the process of nitrification and denitrification.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Nitrification: In this step, ammonia obtained is first converted to nitrite (NO2) by bacteria like Nitrosomonas, Nitrococcus, etc. ... Once the nitrate is utilized by plants, the excess nitrate in the soil is reduced back to nitrogen by Pseudomonas and Thiobacillus bacteria. This process is known as denitrification
