Explain the role of nitrifying bacteria in making nitrates available to plants?

Where can organic nitrogen be found in the nitrogen Cycle?
Starting with ammonium, NH4, which nitrifiying bacteria transform into nitrate (NO3-)and nitrite (NO2-). However, of these compounds, only nitrate is assimilated by plants, making it organic. If not assimilated by plants, denitrifying bacteria take the nitrate and convert it back to atmospheric nitrogen (N2).
When animals excrete nitrogenous waste in the soil's certain soil bacteria convert these wastes into nitrate's which are absorb by plants these bacteria function as?
decomposers
What types of bacteria help plants make proteins?
nitrogen-fixing bacteria
Which types of bacteria help plants make protein?
Nitrogen-fixing bacteria

How do plants take up the nitrate?
Nitrate is both an organic & inorganic compound that can be created by decomposers (bacteria) and ester. Since plants grow out of soil, the soil layers contains nitrate bacterias that oxidizes ammonia as well as mix compounds of nitrogen and oxygen allowing plants to receive these materials from plant roots.

How do plats get nitrogen they need?
The plant source of Nitrogen is Nitrate. Plants acquire nitrate through the Nitrogen Cycle. Atmospheric Nitrogen is absorbed by Nitrogen-fixing bacteria. The bacteria produce Ammonia which becomes Nitrite. Nitrite becomes Nitrate, the usable form of Nitrogen for plants. Nitrate is assimilated and absorbed by plants. Plants produce amino acids and proteins that are consumed in the food chain. Whatever consumes the proteins and amino acids will eventually die and the decomposition produces ammonia which turns into the atmospheric Nitrogen at the beginning of the cycle.
Why ammonium nitrate is not useful for paddy rice fields?
Ammonium nitrate is used for paddy rice because microbial bacteria decompose ammonium nitrate into nitrogen gas so nitrogen gas does not remain useful for plants.
How are leguminous plants able to survive in soil low in nitrate ions?
They have mutualistic relationships with fungi and bacteria that can split atmospheric nitrogen into a form that is usable by the plants.
Will calcium nitrate help in removing hydrogen sulfide from wastewater?
Bacteria will seek out Nitrate as an oxygen source before using sulfate, braking the sulfide production chain in wastewater. Calcium Nitrate is one Nitrate based chemical, others include Nitrate of Soda and Potassium Nitrate.

Where are nitrate found?
Nitrates are found in man-made fertilizers. They are also found in soil after the nitrogen fixating bacteria converts Nitrite to Nitrate (Nitrogen Cycle) which can be utilized by plants and consumed by the consumers.
Why are nitrates used to help preserved food?
The ion nitrate used in curing is converted to nitrite by enzymes or bacteria. The nitrite then prevents the bacteria from growing.
