What will happen if ammonification does not occur in nitrogen cycle??
Answers
Answer:
Ammonification is a process in which nutrients used by plants and animals are returned to the soil by decomposition of the organisms. In the nitrogen cycle, ammonification plays a key role because it provides nitrogen and other essential nutriens to living things.
Ammonification converts atmospheric nitrogen into an inorganic form so that it can be used again by plants and then passed on to the food chain.
If ammonification does not occur then the nitrogen-containing compounds will not return the nutrients to the ecosystem and living organisms will no longer survive on earth.
Answer:
Ammonification is the process by which microorganisms present in soil, sediment, or water mineralize low molecular weight, dissolved, organic molecules presenting amine or amide groups (of general formula R-NH2) and produce ammonium (NH4+). Ammonification is the last step of the nitrogen cycle involving an organic compound, and is the intermediary step between the depolymerization of large organic molecules and the nitrification
