What is the ultimate source of the nitrogen that living things use?

The ultimate source of nitrogen that living things use is the atmosphere, which is composed of about 78% nitrogen gas (Nā‚‚). This atmospheric nitrogen is not directly usable by most organisms, so it must be converted into a biologically available form through processes like nitrogen fixation, carried out by certain bacteria and archaea. These microorganisms convert atmospheric nitrogen into ammonia or related compounds, which can then be utilized by plants and, subsequently, by animals that consume those plants.
