Well, at first, special bacteria convert the nitrogen gas (otherwise known as N2) to ammonia (otherwise known as (NH3) so the plants can use it. Then, Nitrification. Nitrification is the process of converting the ammonia to nitrite ions which the plants can take in as nutrients. Third, after all the living organisms use the nutrients, the decomposer bacteria come and convert the nitrogen rich waste compounds to simpler ones. Fourth, and finally, other bacteria converts the simple nitrogen compounds back to nitrogen gas, (otherwise known as N2), which is then released back into the atmosphere to begin the cycle once more.

What does it mean for an environment to be isotonic?(1 point)

HACTEHA [7]

A solution to be isotonic refers to b) The concentration of solute in the environment and the concentration inside the cell are at equilibrium.

Isotonic solution is the solution that have equal concentration of solute on both sides of the solution separated by a membrane.
If a cell is kept in an isotonic solution that means the concentration of the solute inside the cell is the same as that of the outside then the movement of solvent does not occur between the cell and the external environment.
The osmotic pressure inside the cell and outside the cell across the semipermeable membrane of the cell becomes the same due to equal concentration of the solute on each side.
