Explain how the nitrogen cycle works

Biology
1 answer:
AnnyKZ [126]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Refer the above pic

Explanation:

Ammonia is first oxidised to nitrite by the bacteria Nitrosomonas and/or Nitrococcus. The nitrite is further oxidised to nitrate with the help of the bacterium Nitrobacter. These steps are called nitrification . These nitrifying bacteria are chemoautotrophs.

The nitrate thus formed is absorbed by plants and is transported to the leaves. In leaves, it is reduced to form ammonia that finally forms the amine group of amino acids. Nitrate present in the soil is also reduced to nitrogen by the process of denitrification. Denitrification is carried by bacteria Pseudomonas and Thiobacillus.
