Question

Difference between nitrification and denutrification

Answer 1

Nitrification:-the conversion of ammonium salts into nitrates and nitrite is called nitrification
Denitrification:-the conversion of nitrates in the soil into free gaseous nitrogen is called denitrification

Answer 2

Nitrification is the process through which ammonia is converted into nitrates and nitrites .Plants generally take up nitrates and nitrites and convert them into amino acids.

Denitrification is the process of conversion of the various compounds of nitrogen back into nitrates and nitrites . The nitrates and nitrites are converted into elemental nitrogen by denitrifying bacteria.
