What would be a direct concequence of the dissapearance of nitorgen-fixing prokaryotes?

Plants couldn't make ammonia, so they would lack nitrogen, which is a component of proteins and nucleic acid. Since every species in the food chain ultimately gets their nitrogen from nitrogen fixation, they'd either have to find a new way of getting nitrogen or find a way of making nucleic acids and protein without it. The only alternative is extinction.


What would happen to the cellular level if vegetarians didn't consume all the amino acids they need?

Different amino acids and proteins serve different suposes to the body and to the cells of the body. Proteins are the key component to building muscle. Amino acids and proteins also allow for transport of materials in and out of the cellular membrane. If not working properly, harmful substances usually blocked could enter the cell, or waste could build up within the cell, both of which would cause damage to the cell and/or surrounding cells and membranes. A lack of proper nutrition can also cause fatigue and weakness of the cells.
