Nitrogen must be in the compound form before it is used by plants or animals

Fixation
Nitrogen is required by plants and animals for protein synthesis
Animals obtain nitrogen by eating plants which have absorbed nitrogen from the soil.
Gaseous nitrogen (N₂) must undergo a process called nitrogen fixation before plants can utilize it for growth. This process converts atmospheric nitrogen into ammonia (NH₃) or related compounds, which can be absorbed by plants. Nitrogen fixation can occur biologically through certain bacteria in the soil or root nodules of legumes, or abiotically through lightning or industrial processes. Once in a usable form, nitrogen is essential for synthesizing proteins, nucleic acids, and other vital compounds in plants.
Nitrogen needs to be fixed before it is used by plants.
They eat the plants that absorb the nitrates.
Nitrogen.
it would die
The nitrogen goes into the nodules of the plant.
When an Animal Dies, and Decomposes Nitrogen is Released, where Bacteria and Plants begin there work, you may want to research the Nitrogen Cyclean animal returns nitrogen to the environment when it urinates or decompeses or dies or decays
Through ingestion. Plants associate with thingies that live in the soil and give them nitrogen, that nitrogen goes up the food chain.
