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.

How are the process of nitrogen fixation and denitrification different?
nitrification= it is the conversion of ammonia first into nitrites then into nitrates by nitrifying bacteria. dentrification=it is the conversion of nitrites and nitrates into free nitrogen.
What would happen if you put a glowing splint in nitrogen?
It is extinguished
What will happen if nitrogen fixation does not take place?
if nitrogen fixation does not take place nitrates will not be taken if nitrates are not there so there is no photosynthesis so it metaboills and if photosynthesis is not there so there is no life thats what nitrogen fixation not allows in nitrogen cycle
What will happen when liquid nitrogen leaks out of a storage tank?
It will heat up and evaporate.
What will happen if oxygen is less abundant than nitrogen?
It already is. Air is about 4/5ths nitrogen and about 1/5th oxygen (and about 1% "other stuff"). The current ratio of nitrogen to oxygen in air is about 4:1 as you can see.

What would happen to nitrogen cycle if plants were removed by pesticides?
Pesticides stop the nitrogen cycle by suppressing nitrogen-fixing bacteria from replenishing natural nitrogen fertilizer in soil. This results in lower crop yields, stunted growth, and an ever-greater need for additives to boost production.
What would happen if the nitrogen cycle was disrupted?
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.
What if bacteria lost the ability to fix nitrogen?
Everybody would die. However, this is not likely to happen.
What would happen if we rid the world of bacteria?
Everyone would die, since we need bacteria inside our body to digest food for us.Good bacteria (Normal Flora) breaks down nitrogen and without nitrogen, then plants cannot grow, and without plants, no oxygen. Therefore, no bacteria, no life.
What might happen in a community if all the nitrogen fixing bacteria died?
organisms in in the community would get sick or die
What would happen to a crop if the nitrogen-fixing bacteria in the soil were destroyed?
it decreases the nutrients available for living organisms.
What would happen to animals if all of the nitrogen-fixing bacteria in soil and plant roots was killed by pesticides?
hello
What might happen in community if all the nitrogen fixing bacteria died?
organisms in in the community would get sick or die
What will happen if nitrogen was removed from soil?
that is life risking u ediout dont u stupi dumb bum
What might happen in a community if all the nitrogen fixation bacteria died?
All life forms in that community would go extinct, because they wouldn't be able to get any fixed nitrogen.
What would happen if all the nitrogen fixing bacteria disappeared?
Life dependent on plants would die. The nitrogen fixing bacteria change nitrogen into a useable and they have a symbiotic relationship with plants. Plants need the nitrogen to synthesize amino acids. Without being able to synthesize amino acids, the plant would die and the other organisms dependent on it would starve/die off.
