Give two examples of how nitrogen cycles from the abiotic portion of the environment into living things and back?
when an animal urinates nitrogen returns to the water or soil,and when organisms die and decay,nitrogen returns to the soil and eventually to the atmosphere
Where did Daniel Rutherford discover nitrogen?
in living organisms
Living organisms require nitrogen to make nitrates and nitrites which are used to build?
proteins
How is oxgen from the atmosphere important?
It is important because without it, there can be no living thing. Living organisms need oxygen to exist.
Living organisms are made of molecules consisting largely of the element hydrogen nitrogen oxygen phosphorus sulfur and?
carbon
What organisms are responsible for producing nitrogen compounds and what is this process called?
Decomposers are responsible for producing nitrogen compounds, This continual transfer of nitrogen from the non living part of the environment to the living part and back again is called the nitrogen cycle.
What are the answers to 3.4 cycles of matter?
The water cycle involves the movement of water between the atmosphere, land, and oceans. The carbon cycle involves the movement of carbon between the atmosphere, oceans, and living organisms. The nitrogen cycle involves the movement of nitrogen between the atmosphere, soil, and living organisms.
What elements are most oganisms unabel to take from the atmosphere?
The nitrogen is about 78% in air but living organisms can not take from air.
When an organism dies the nitrogen in its body is released by the action of what?
Many living organisms may feed on other organisms that have died. Eventually bacteria free the nitrogren in proteins to the atmosphere.
What elements are the main contituents of living organism?
the main constituents of living organisms is carbon with first position then oxygen with second hydrogen with third and nitrogen with fourth, the carbon is the most abundant portion in living organism and nitrogen least quantity. The free nitrogen quantity in atmosphere is considerably more.
Why is nitrogen transformation essential for living organisms?
nitrogen has no effect to life

Where are two places that nitrogen is found?
Elemental nitrogen is found by taking a deep breath; it's almost 80% of our atmosphere. In compounds, nitrogen is found in fertilizers, amino acids, ammonia, and many other substances.
What organisms are capable of converting gaseous nitrogen in the air into a form that other living organisms can use?
Nitrogen-fixing bacteria
How the nitrogen cycle helps the living organisms?
with poo
Living organisms do not have to be a part of which cycle?
nitrogen cycle
Where did Daniel Rutherford discover nitrogen?
in living organisms
