A deer in the woods has just released urine. Number the steps to follow the nitrogen molecules in the urine as they go through the nitrogen cycle.
To get you started, Step 1 is "Nitrogen is found in urine, which gets broken down into ammonium through the process of ammonification."1.Step 1Bacteria in the soil conduct nitrogen fixation to convert nitrogen gas from the atmosphere into ammonium.2.Step 2Ammonium can be absorbed by plants, but some is converted into nitrates, which are better for plants to absorb. This is called nitrification.3.Step 3Nitrogen is found in the urine, which gets broken down into ammonium through the process of ammonification.4.Step 4The deer eats the plants and uses the nitrogen-containing proteins for cell growth.5.Step 5Some of the nitrates are absorbed back into plants, but denitrification breaks down the nitrates into nitrogen gas released back into the atmosphere.6.Step 6Plants absorb the ammonium and begin assimilation, the process to add the nitrogen to protein.
