Define the following terms 1) Nitrogen fixation 2) Ammonification 3) Denitrification
please give me full answer
Answers
Answer:
Nitrogen fixation is a process by which molecular nitrogenin the air is converted into ammonia (NH. 3) or related nitrogenous compounds in soil. Atmospheric nitrogen is molecular dinitrogen, a relatively nonreactive molecule that is metabolically useless to all but a few microorganisms.
Ammonification refers to any chemical reaction in which NH2 groups are converted into ammonia or its ionic form, ammonium (NH4+), as an end product. Bacteria and related microorganisms derive metabolically useful energy from the oxidation of organic nitrogen to ammonium.
Denitrification is a microbially facilitated process where nitrate (NO3−) is reduced and ultimately produces molecular nitrogen (N2) through a series of intermediate gaseous nitrogen oxide products.

Answer:
1. Nitrogen fixation
Answer. The process of converting nitrogen in the air to nitrogen compounds which can be used by plants is called nitrogen fixation.
2. Ammonification
Answer. The act or process of ammoniating. Decomposition with production of ammonia or ammonium compounds especially by the action of bacteria on nitrogenous organic matter.
3. Dentrification
Answer. Dentrification is the microbial process of reducing nitrate and nitrite to gaseous forms of nitrogen. Dentrification is a response to changes in the oxygen concentration of their immediate environment
