Decomposers are responsible for producing nitrogen compounds, This continual transfer of nitrogen from the non living part of the environment to the living part and back again is called the nitrogen cycle.

What are non-metals in the nitrogen family?
elements and compounds
Are nitrogen and chlorine ionic compounds?
No, nitrogen and chlorine are elements.
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 are the uses of Alkaloids?
Alkaloids are naturally occurring chemical compounds formed from basic nitrogen atoms. Alkaloids are produced by a large variety of organisms that include plants, fungi and bacteria.
What are common compounds in nitrogen?
Some common compounds containing nitrogen include: nitrous oxide (N2O), nitric oxide (NO), nitrous anhydride (N2O3), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), and nitric anhydride (N2O5), nitrogen trifluoride (NF3), nitrogen trichloride (NCl3), and nitrogen triiodide (NI3).
What organisms are responsible for producing nitrogen compounds?
nitrogen fixing bacteria
What is the process called in which organisms are responsible of producing nitrogen compounds?
It is called Nitrification. Some bacteria and lightning does that
What is the process called by which organisms are responsible for producing nitrogen compounds?
Nitrogen fixation. It can only be performed by a very small number of species of anaerobic bacteria.
What is organisms that can be transform unusable nitrogen in the atmosphere into chemical compounds containing nitrogen that can be used by other organisms?
Nitrogen-fixing bacteria
What name is given to the process in which nitrogen is converted into compounds to be used by organisms?
it's nitrogen cycle........
What is responsible for making nitrogen in the atmosphere usable by living organisms?
nitrogen fixing bacteria
How does nitrogen in dead organisms get released back into soil?
A dead organisms nitrogen rich compounds are taken in by decomposers or are released back into the environment. The compounds are either recycled again by soil micro-organisms or are converted by detrifying bacteria back into nitrogen gas.Answer this question…
What are living things that need nitrogen to make complex nitrogen compounds called?
Living things that need nitrogen to make complex nitrogen compounds are called nitrogen-fixing organisms. These organisms have the ability to convert atmospheric nitrogen gas (N2) into usable forms such as ammonia or nitrates, which can be incorporated into various biological molecules. Examples of nitrogen-fixing organisms include certain bacteria and some plants, such as legumes.
What organism is responsible for changing nitrogen gas into nitrogen into solid nitrogen compounds?
Chemoautotrophs like Nitrogen fixing bacteria
Why do animals not obtain nitrogen from the air?
Nitrogen gas is fairly inert and so is difficult for organisms to process. Instead, animals must get usable nitrogen compounds from their food.
What organisms are necessary for producing ammonia nitrates and nitrites during the nitrogen cycle?
A type of anaerobic bacteria called nitrogen fixing bacteria.
Which organisms are most critical in the nitrogen cycle?
Bacteria is the organism most critical in the nitrogen cycle. Bacteria in the nitrogen cycle provides different forms of nitrogen compounds used by higher organisms.
