Answer:

The bacteria convert free nitrogen into nitrogen-containing compounds, while the decomposers convert nitrogen-containing compounds into free nitrogen.

Explanation:

Nitrogen is an essential element for all living organisms. It is required for synthesis protein and nucleic acids and other nitrogenous compounds. Some nitrogen fixing organisms such as Rhizobium, fixes atmospheric nitrogen (N₂) into usable forms such as nitrate (NO₃⁻) or ammonium (NH₄⁺ ) in the soil. The plants take up (NO₃⁻) and (NH₄⁺ )by absorption from the soil by their roots and make protein and nucleic acids.  Animals take up nitrogen by eating plants.  On death of a plant or animal and the nitrogenous waste produced by animals, decomposers such as bacteria and fungi convert this organic nitrogen into ammonium (NH4⁺) and later into NO₂⁻ and NO₃⁻. Denitrifying bacteria change NO₃⁻ into free nitrogen (N₂).

Answer:

Natural Selection.

Explanation:

This process is an example of natural selection. You may know it as "survival of the fittest." This means that the organisms with the best traits for surviving will survive, while the others will unfortunately die off. However, this is good for a species because it means that the future offspring will likely become more and more adapted to their habitats and the world around them!
