Question

You are a molecule of nitrogen. Choose a starting point in the nitrogen cycle and describe the process you would go through to move through the entire cycle.

Answer 1

Explanation:                                                                                                                                                                                  

        the first step in nitrogen cycle is formation of nitrates  it is done by following ways.1.  NITROGEN FIXATION:   conversion of nitrogen into nitrates is called nitrogen fixation. it is done by three ways which include atmospheric nitrogen fixation(done by thunderstorms and lightning),biological nitrogen fixation(done by nitrogen fixing bacteria),industrial nitrogen fixation(done in industries). 2.AMMONIFICATION AND NITRIFICATION: ammonification is the breakdown of proteins and nitrogeneous wastes and nitrification is conversion of ammonia into nitrates and nitrites this procces is done by bacteria. the second step is assimilation in which the nitrates formed in the above procces are used by plants and in the third procces which is denitrification in which the nitrates are again converted into atmospheric nitrogen.
