Why can you get the bends?
The reason you get the bends is because of the nitrogen inside the tank. When you are deep under water the pressure gets higher. If you stay at 20ft for 5 minutes this will release all the nitrogen at a proper rate. If you shoot to the top the nitrogen spews out too quickly which is bad so, when that happens you will get the bends.

What is the symbolic relationship found between plants and nitrogen fixing bacteria?
Nitrogen is vital to plants (as well as all other life) as it is a key component of chlorophyll, proteins, and DNA. Without nitrogen fixing bacteria, most plants would quickly deplete the limited stores of nitrogen found in the soil in their immediate area. Nitrogen fixing bacteria are able to synthesize ammonia from free nitrogen in the air, and plants can utilize this ammonia in all of their biological processes.

Why does Liquid Nitrogen evaporate?
This is a very good question. Nitrogen is an element that usually stays in a gas state. To make it a liquid, it has to be chilled almost to absolute zero. The moment that liquid nitrogen comes into contact with room temperature, it begins to heat up, rapidly. The Fog that you observe is just the liquid nitrogen changing from a liquid to a gas state. This occurs very quickly. Hope this helps!
