Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Bacteria can produce atmospheric nitrogen from nitrates in the soil
A
true
B
false
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Ammonification of this nitrogenous waste by bacteria and fungi in the soil converts the organic nitrogen to ammonium ion-NH4 plus. Ammonium is converted to nitrit-NO2 minus-then to nitrate-NO3 minus-by nitrifying bacteria. Denitrifying bacteria convert the nitrate back into nitrogen gas, which reenters the atmosphere.

Detailed explanation-2: -Rhizobium is the type of bacteria which is found in the roots of leguminous plants and converts atmospheric nitrogen into nitrates.

Detailed explanation-3: -Denitrifying bacteria. Notes: Denitrifying microbes, otherwise called nitrate-decreasing microorganisms (NRB), alludes to a gathering of microscopic organisms that assists with changing over nitrates or nitrites into nitrogen-containing gases. This transformation is vital for the environment.

Detailed explanation-4: -Biologically: Nitrogen gas (N2) diffuses into the soil from the atmosphere, and species of bacteria convert this nitrogen to ammonium ions (NH4+), which can be used by plants. Legumes (such as clover and lupins) are often grown by farmers because they have nodules on their roots that contain nitrogen-fixing bacteria.

Detailed explanation-5: -Cyanobacteria provide nitrogen to fungi by fixing atmospheric nitrogen.
