Question

Put the steps of the nitrogen cycle in order, starting with the step that

Answer 1

Explanation:

1.   Nitrogen molecules is split apart
2.   Gaseous nitrogen is released
3.   Nitrogen moves from soil to plant material
4.   Dead animals decompose

1 through 4 lists the movement of nitrogen from the atmosphere

The process starts with nitrogen being discharged in the atmosphere where its molecules are split apart. Most times electrical discharge from thunder and lightening helps to break and release free nitrogen in the atmosphere. The nitrogen can enter the soil through the activities of some bacteria in leguminous plants. Some enter through rain water that has reacted with free nitrogen in the atmosphere.

Plants use the nitrogen for some of their life functions. When animals eat the plant matter, they later die and decompose and denitrifying bacteria can help return the nitrogen in compounds back to the atmosphere.
