explain nitrogen cycle (⌒▽⌒)(⌒▽⌒)
Answers
Answer:
The nitrogen cycle is a repeating cycle of processes during which nitrogen moves through both living and non-living things: the atmosphere, soil, water, plants, animals and bacteria. In order to move through the different parts of the cycle, nitrogen must change forms.

Explain nitrogen cycle.
Nitrogen is one of the most important substance. It is the part of all proteins, amino acids, nucleic acid, ATP etc.
Air contains about 78% nitrogen,but neither plants nor animals, are able to utilise it directly as molecular N2. Plants can use nitrogen in the form of nitrate ions, from the soil.
The certain bacteria such as a Azotobacter and Rizobium etc and plants such as gram pea etc have ability to convert atmospheric nitrogen into nitrate ions. This is called nitrogen fixation. Animals obtain their nitrogen only in the form of food from plants.Beside these biological agents and physical agent like high temperature and pressure lightning etc can also convert atmospheric nitrogen into oxide of nitrogen(nitrate and nitrates).These oxide get dissolved in water and fall on ground (along with rain). These oxides can be used by plants for their biological processes.
Dead and decomposed organic matter and animal waste produce Ammonia and Amino acid. This production of ammonia ammonification.
There are certain microorganisms such as nitrosomonas which can convert this Ammonia into nitrate ions.Some other microorganisms like nitrobacter can finally convert nitrogen into nitrate ions.This process is called Nitrification Certain bacteria called decomposers, such as Pseudomans can reduce nitrate ions, back into nitrogen or ammonia. This is called
de-nitrification so various compound of nitrogen help in recycling each other.
