Question

Ammonification is the formation of

Answer 1

Answer:

Ammonification is a process of formation of Ammonia that is NH+4. Plants take nitrogen in the ionic form that is in the form of ammonia.

Answer 2

Answer:

Ammonification is the reduction of organic nitrogen (RNH2) into inorganic nitrogen (NH4+) compound with the help of microorganisms

Explanation:

• The microorganisms that are present in the soil sediments, and dissolved organic molecules present in amine or amide groups produce ammonium (NH4+).
• It is the last step of the nitrogen cycle involving an organic compound.
• It is the intermediary step between the depolymerization of large organic molecules and nitrification.
• It is the second step of mineralization.
• It is a chemical reaction in which NH2 groups are converted into an ionic form of ammonia. ammonium (NH4+), is an end product.
• Microorganisms and bacteria derive metabolically useful energy from the oxidation of nitrogen to ammonium.
• This end product is available to be incorporated into amino acids or used for metabolic purposes.
• Animals excrete uric acid or urea in urine which is a nitrogen containing excretion.
• Therefore urea, uric acid, other nitrogen faeces are all the substrates of Ammonification.

Hence, ammonification is the formation of inorganic nitrogen.
