The nitrogen cycle can be well elaborated by the diagram, we see the atmospheric nitrogen being converted to use able form by the plants. When the organisms die they are turned to simple forms like nitrogen by decomposers. Nitrifying and denitrifying bacteria act on matters and change them to nitrates and nitrdes . The picture below describes the cycle much clearer.

nitrogen is used by life forms to carry out many of the functions of life. air contains 78 percent nitrogen.
The process of converting nitrogen into a form in which it can be used by plants is called nitrogen.
The process of converting nitrogen being fixed, used by plants and animals, and later returned to the atmosphere is referee to as the nitrogen cycle.
nitrogen cycle involves the following steps.
• nitrogen fixation
• nitrogen assimilation :- the process of converting inorganic nitrogen compounds into organic compounds that become a part of living organisms is called nitrogen assimilation.
• ammonification:- the process of conversion of complex organic compounds like proteins into ammonia.
• nitrification:- the process of conversion of ammonia into nitrates.
• dentrification:- the process of conversion of nitrates into nitrogen gas.
