Where can organic nitrogen be found in the nitrogen Cycle?
Starting with ammonium, NH4, which nitrifiying bacteria transform into nitrate (NO3-)and nitrite (NO2-). However, of these compounds, only nitrate is assimilated by plants, making it organic. If not assimilated by plants, denitrifying bacteria take the nitrate and convert it back to atmospheric nitrogen (N2).
Do you calculate total organic nitrogen by adding nitrate nitrogen and nitrite nitrogen?
I believe you determine Organic Nitrogen by subtracting Ammonia Nitrogen from Total Kjeldahl Nitrogen.
What are the differences between atmospheric nitrogen and laboratory nitrogen?
Chemical nitrogen 1 it is pure as it does not have any inert gases. 2 it is lighter compared to atmospheric nitrogen. 3 it is highly reactive. Atmospheric nitrogen 1 it has 1% inert gases. 2 it is heavier than chemical nitrogen due to the dust particles. 3 it is less reactive because of the inert gases.
What are the natural atmospheric sources of ammonia?
nitrogen
Does the nitrogen cycle have no atmospheric component?
phosphorus cycle is the only one with no atmospheric component.
What kind of organisms converts atmospheric nitrogen into a form that other organisms can use?
bacteria
What do nitrates and organic matter produce?
Nitrogen gas becomes the ultimate product of nitrates and organic matter and complete the nitrogen cycle. Organic matter converts into ammonium, which oxidizes into ammonia and then into nitrites. Nitrites oxidize into nitrates, which reduce into nitrogen gas.
What kind of organism converts atmospheric nitrogen into a form that other organisms can use?
which of these organisms convert atmospheric nitrogen gas to a form that can be utilized by plants? a. bacteria b. protists c. consumers d. producers e. fungi
What fixes atmospheric Nitrogen?
oxygen fixes atmospheric nitrogen
Why do bacteria play a role in the nitrogen cycle?
Some bacteria have the ability to "fix" nitrogen, that is they can utilize gaseous (atmospheric) nitrogen to produce organic compounds. (They can all break down compounds to free nitrogen too.)
What is the need of fixing atmospheric nitrogen find out the various ways by which atmospheric nitrogen is fixed?
Why does atmospheric nitrogen need to be converted?
Does the nitrogen cycle has no atmospheric component?
It definitely does have an atmospheric component. When organic material is decomposed some of the microorganisms involved in doing this, called denitrifying bacteria, extract the nitrogen from the organic material and put it back in the atmosphere. Other bacteria take nitrogen from the atmosphere and convert it into substances that plants can use. Thus the atmosphere serves as an enormous pool of nitrogen for life. Please see the wikipedia article about the nitrogen cycle for more information.
Which event breaks down the nitrogen in the atmosphere and converts it to a form that can be used by plants and animals?
Nitrogen fixation is how atmospheric nitrogen is processed. This occurs during lightning strikes but mainly is processed by diazotrophs, or free living bacteria with nitrogenase.
How do plants and animals differ in the ways they obtain nitrogen?
Plants get it from bacteria which live associated with their roots who take atmospheric nitrogen and fixate it (nitrogen cycle). Animals can only get it by ingesting organic compounds which contain nitrogen, such as plants and other animals which have eaten plants.

What fixes nitrogen?
oxygen fixes atmospheric nitrogen
What is the chemical compound of atmospheric nitrogen gas?
Atmospheric nitrogen is an element and is N2. A compound of this would be ammonia NH3
