Answer:

Atmospheric nitrogen is "fixed" by bacteria.

Explanation:

Nitrogen gas (N2) is the most abundant in the earth's atmosphere, representing 79% of air volume. In organisms, nitrogen atoms are part of several organic substances, such as proteins and nucleic acids. However, most living things cannot use nitrogen in the N2 molecular form. Only a few species of bacteria are able to use it by incorporating nitrogen atoms into their organic molecules and making it available in other molecular forms for use by various species through a process called Biological Nitrogen Fixation. Similarly, the bacteria that perform the fixation are called nitrogen fixers.

Answer:

D) bacteria and lightning.

Explanation:

According to USA Testprep (Where the question came from), "Nitrogen is fixed or chemically combined with other elements to form a usable chemical compound. Plants are then able to use nitrogen in this form; they are not able to use it in its atmospheric form." I hope this helps those that try to find the answer.

Why is an energy pyramid a helpful diagram in understanding food energy relationship
Nitella [24]
An energy pyramid is helpful in understanding the relationship between food and energy, because the most energy (generally grass, or plants) is at the bottom, and meat eating predators are at the tippy top (less energy). Producers, primary consumers, secondary consumers and tertiary consumers are all on the energy pyramid. I hope this was helpful:)
