There is an electrical gradient and there is a concentration gradient.
1.) Chemical gradient better known as concentration gradient is much more powerful and compelling than the electrical gradient.
2.) Water is a polar molecule, meaning one side it positively charged while the other is negatively charged. This polar charged molecule causes water to have a weaker electrical gradient, thus the water has to move on its concentration gradient.

Bacteria
Explanation:
Nitrification fixation takes place by nitrogen-fixing bacteria like Azotobacter, Klebsiella, Bacillus etc which convert atmospheric nitrogen gas into fixed-nitrogen compounds like nitrates or ammonium ions for the plants to readily absorb.
The nitrogen fixing bacteria can be free-living like cyanobacteria or live with symbiotic relationship with plants and fungi.
The chemical conversion of di-nitrogen to ammonia takes place with the help of enzymes like nitrogenase in combination with leghahemoglobin, a protein through a reduction reaction.
