During nitrification, ammonia is changed back into nitrate.
Nitrification is a three-step process of oxidation of ammonia. It is an aerobic process performed by small groups of autotrophic bacteria (Nitrosomonas, Nitrobacter). First step- ammonia to hydroxylamine, Second step-hydroxylamine to nitrite, Third step-nitrite to nitrate. Nitrification together with ammonification is part of a nitrogen cycle.
Cell membrane: Scattered in the lipid bilayer are cholesterol molecules, which help to keep the membrane fluid consistent. Membrane proteins are important for transporting substances across the cell membrane. They can also function as enzymes or receptors. On the extracellular fluid side of a cell membrane, you find carbohydrates.
Cytoplasm: Function of Cytoplasm. The jelly-like fluid that fills a cell is called cytoplasm. It is made up of mostly water and salt. Cytoplasm is present within the cell membrane of all cell types and contains all organelles and cell parts.
Nucleus: Function of the Nucleus. The nucleus is an organelle found in eukaryotic cells. Inside its fully-enclosed nuclear membrane, it contains the majority of the cell's genetic material. This material is organized as DNA molecules, along with a variety of proteins, to form chromosomes.
Cell wall: The cell wall is the protective, semi-permeable outer layer of a plant cell. A major function of the cell wall is to give the cell strength and structure, and to filter molecules that pass in and out of the cell.
Chromosomes are found in the nucleas of a human cell and are carrier of generic information and responsible for the transmission of these information from one generation to another
