Answer:

When an organism excretes or dies, nitrogen is in the form of organic nitrogen in its tissues (e.g. amino acids, DNA). During the ammonification process, many fungi and prokaryotes then break the tissue down and release inorganic Nitrogen into the atmosphere as ammonia.

Explanation:

Plants use their roots for nitrogen compounds. When they consume the seeds, animals acquire certain chemicals. When plants and livestock die, or animals excrete waste, the organic nitrogen compounds return to the soil, where microorganisms known as decomposers break down their compounds.

What is biochemistry??

77julia77 [94]

Biochemistry is the study of the actions of the main metabolic processes of living organisms, which are protein synthesis (DNA and RNA molecules, genetic codes and how they work, enzyme formation and function, etc), glycolysis (cellular respiration, aka the Krebs cycle/citric acid cycle to break down glucose molecules to release chemical energy and oxydative phosphorylation, the use of that chemical energy to form ATP molecules in which the chemical energy is put in a form the cell can use, and lipid chemistry (the study of the pathways in which fatty acids are formed into lipids and fat molecules and cholestrol formation and function).
Essentially, biochemistry covers the chemical reactions necessary for cellular and organism metabolism
