Question

Why is the difference between nitrification and denitrification

Answer 1

Answer:

Difference between nitrification and denitrification

Nitrification is the process of conversion of ammonium to nitrate by oxidation whereas denitrification is conversion of nitrogen into nitrogenous gases by reduction.

Answer 2

Given below are the important points which differentiate both the process: The biological process where ammonium (NH4+) is oxidized and converted into the nitrate (NO3-) is called as nitrification, while denitrification is biological process involves the conversion of nitrate (NO3-) into nitrogen gas (N2).
