Question

what is the second stage of carbon and nitrogen cycle

Answer 1

carbon cycle 2nd stage decomposition
nitrogen cycle 2nd stage nitrification

Answer 2

Answer:

The carbon cycle is basically a two step process involving photosynthesis and respiration. Green plants undergo both photosynthesis and respiration. Fungi and animal life only respire. Carbon is "cycled" from green plants to the atmosphere and back to the plant.

In the first step of this process, Nitrosomonas convert ammonia into nitrite, and in the second step, nitrite is converted into nitrate, by Nitrobacter. This nitrate is then consumed by plants. The final aspect of the nitrogen cycle is the process of denitrification.
