Nitrogen-fixing bacteria convert atmospheric nitrogen to nitrates.
|
|
|
Nitrites bind to soil particles.
|
|
|
Nitrogen-fixing bacteria convert atmospheric nitrogen to ammonia.
|
|
|
Denitrifiers convert ammonium to atmospheric nitrogen.
|
Detailed explanation-1: -Ammonification /Mineralization: In ammonification, bacteria or fungi convert the organic nitrogen from dead organisms back into ammonium (NH4+).
Detailed explanation-2: -Nitrification. Nitrification is the process that converts ammonia to nitrite and then to nitrate and is another important step in the global nitrogen cycle.
Detailed explanation-3: -Animals secure their nitrogen (and all other) compounds from plants (or animals that have fed on plants). Four processes participate in the cycling of nitrogen through the biosphere: (1) nitrogen fixation, (2) decay, (3) nitrification, and (4) denitrification. Microorganisms play major roles in all four of these.
Detailed explanation-4: -Nitrogen fixation is a process in which nitrogen (N2) in the atmosphere is converted into ammonium NH4+ or nitrogen dioxide (NO2).
Detailed explanation-5: -1.1 Nitrogen fixation. 1.2 Assimilation. 1.3 Ammonification. 1.4 Nitrification. 1.5 Denitrification. 1.6 Dissimilatory nitrate reduction to ammonium. 1.7 Anaerobic ammonia oxidation. 1.8 Other processes.
