How do plants and animals get nitrogen if not from the atmosphere?
if not from the atmosphere , they must depend on a process called nitrogen fixation. They get it from the soil. That's why farmers add fertilizer to the soil to increase nitrogen content
How is the element nitrogen in nitrogen compounds in the soil released back into the air?
By the process denitrification. Some bacteria do that also human
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
Bacteria return nitrogen to the soil by which process?
The role of bacteria in the Nitrogen Cycle is to perform biological nitrogen fixation. This process is an important part of the Nitrogen Cycle because it converts oxygen into ammonia that plants are then able to use.
Process in which bacteria convert nitrates into nitrogen gas and releases it in to the atmosphere?
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 AARON T that's me
What role does the denitrification play in the nitrogen?
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.
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.
Nitrogen fixation is a process that changes plant and soil into nitrogen compounds?
True
How do you separate nitrogen from soil?
Bacteria in the soil called nitrogen-fixing bacteria go through a process called nitrogen-fixation which allows nitrogen to enter the atmosphere
Process in which nitrogen is released into the air and soil?
Denitrification

What is the process in which nitrate and nitrite ions are converted into nitrous oxide gas and nitrogen gas?
Nitrogen fixation is one process by which molecular nitrogen is reduced to form ammonia. This complex process is carried out by nitrogen-fixing bacteria present in the soil.
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.
How is the element nitrogen in nitrogen compounds in the soil released back into air?
By the process denitrification. Some bacteria do that also human
