Converting nitrogen from a gas to a usable form by bacteria?
It is either archaebacteria or eubacteria. I'm stuck on this exact question. My guess is archaebacteria since it is the most ancient bacteria. All forms of life use nitrogen and the beginning of life goes way back

What converts nitrogen in the nitrogen cycle?
okay heres the nitrogen cycle nitrogen from atmosphere it taken in by 1)lightning( its energy causes nitrogen to react with oxygen n rain to the soil) 2)nitrogen- fixing bacteria in nodules ( plant roots which take it directly form the atmosphere ) NITROGEN FROM SOIL to organisms 1)nitrogen fixing bacteria in soil - breakdown of dead plants n animals releases nitrogen to the soil 2)fertilizers - which contain nitrogen compounds eg NPK OR natural fertilizers i,e dead plants n animals release nitrogen , animal urine and faeces release nitrogen as well to the soil 3)nitrogen fixing bacteria in nodules get nitrogen from its compounds in the soil 4)nitrifying bacteria - converts compounds of ammonia into nitrates .. for the plant nodules NITROGEN TO ATMOSPHERE 1) denitrifying bacteria in soil - changes nitrates to nitrogen gas and its released back to the atmosphere
What is the importance of nitrification?
When organisms die, decomposers return nitrogen to the soil as ammonia. The ammonia may be taken up again by producers. Other soil bacteria convert nitrates into nitrogen gas in a process called denitrifrication. this process releases nitrogen into the atmosphere once again.
Why is lightning good?
A lightning blot is full of Nitrogen. So when a lightning bolt flashes it releases Nitrogen into the Atmosphere. Since Humans breathe 75 to 80 percent of Nitrogen it is essential to us.
What process releases nitrogen into the soil?
Transpiration
What is role of rhizobium bacteria?
Rhizobia are soil bacteria whose role is fixing nitrogen after establishing inside root nodules(roots of plants) of legumes (Fabaceae). Rhizobia require a plant host; they cannot independently fix nitrogen. Nitrogen is the most commonly deficient nutrient in most soils around the world and it is the most commonly supplied plant nutrient. Supply of nitrogen through fertilizers has severe environmental concerns. Ahmed Urbizo
What would happen if the bacteria that cause denitrification were removed from the nitrogen cycle?
denitrification is soil bacteria converting nitrates into nitrogen gas, is process releases nitrogen into the atmosphere. If there wasn't any bacteria, there would be no process and therefor the nitrogen wouldn't make it into the atmosphere.

What role does the denitrification play in the nitrogen?

What releases nitrogen into the atmosphere?
Denitrification which is the process of nitrofen returning to the atmosphere which also involes denitrifying bacteria( convert nitrate back into nitrogen gas)
Describe the path of nitrogen through its biogeochemical cycle?
Nitrogen gas in the soil is used by plants, which are eaten by animals. The waste products of the animals contain the nitrogen. It is broken down by bacteria, which releases nitrogen gas into the atmosphere, and the cycle repeats.
What process releases nitrogen gas into the atmosphere?
Nitrogen (N2) is always in the atmosphere however if you are talking about how it gets released into the atmosphere after it is fixated by lightning absorbed by plants and eaten by 1st level consumers when they or the plant itself decomposes nitrogen it is released back into atmosphere.That's the short of it. Go to wikipedia or read a ecology journal if you wan't to know all the chemicals, reactions, etc in the process-MD

What would happen if the nitrogen cycle was disrupted?
denitrification is soil bacteria converting nitrates into nitrogen gas, is process releases nitrogen into the atmosphere. If there wasn't any bacteria, there would be no process and therefor the nitrogen wouldn't make it into the atmosphere.

What are the role of combustion engine in nitrogen fixation and atmospheric pollution?
The combustion engine releases a lot of chemicals and smoke into the air. This raises nitrogen in the atmosphere and pollutes the air.
Animals help keep the gases in the atmosphere in balance by?
Plants and animals help to maintain a balance of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere by cellular respiration and photosynthesis. Photosynthesis releases oxygen and cellular respiration releases carbon dioxide.
How have we polluted earth's atmosphere?
The earth's atmosphere has been polluted the burning of fossil fuels that releases nitrogen oxides, sulfur and carbon monoxide in the air. Other man-made pollutants from factories also contribute to polluting the atmosphere.
