What are two types are organisms in the nitrogen fixation?
Nitrogen fixing bacteria and Denitrifying bacteria
How many atoms are in nitrogen?
In its natural state, nitrogen is diatomic and will form N2 (two bonded nitrogen atoms).
Group composed of one nitrogen and two hydrogen atoms?
When two nitrogen (N) atoms bond, they form one molecule of nitrogen (N2). At room temperature, nitrogen molecules form a gas. Nitrogen gas makes up about 78% of the atmosphere that we breathe.
Can nitrogen form an ionic bond?
nitrogen can form an ionic bond
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
What are two ways nitrogen from the air changed into usable nitrogen?
lightning & bacterial action (nitrogen fixers).
What are two ways nitrogen becomes usable two plants humans and animals?
Amino acids, proteins and DNA.
What are two types are organisms in the nitrogen fixation?
Nitrogen fixing bacteria and Denitrifying bacteria
What are the two groups of environmental factors that influence organisms?
dioxide and nitrogen
Which two elements form nitrogen monoxide?
Nitrogen monoxide (NO) is formed from nitrogen and oxygen.
How does Nitrogen from the Atmosphere the Abiotic part of the ecosystem Converted in to the biotic part of the ecosystem In Organisms?
By lightening and by nitrogen fixing bacteria in the roots of certain plants (eg the legumes).
How many atoms are in nitrogen?
In its natural state, nitrogen is diatomic and will form N2 (two bonded nitrogen atoms).
How do thunderstorms help in converting nitrogen to nitrates?
The short answer is yes. I am not sure about the amount but there are only two ways nature converts N2 into a form of nitrogen that is usable by plants. The two ways are microorganisms and lightning. I believe bacteria are the main nitrogen fixers, but there might also be some algae that convert nitrogen as well. We have also mastered fixing N2, the process is the Haber- Bosh process.
Do nitrogen and chlorine form an ionic compound?
No. Chlorine and nitrogen are both nonmetals, and two nonmetals do not form ionic compounds with each other.
What is an explanation of the nitrogen cycle?
Nitrogen cycle begins like every other cycle in the Biogeochemical cycle.Nitrogen is an unstable gas in it's octet form but the normal Nitrogen is stable so during nitrogenation;which is the formation of free Nitrogen in the atmosphere,nitrogen is being broken down during lightening and thunderstorms so,it becomes free in the atmosphere and can now combine with other compounds.During rainfall,Nitrogen combines with water to form Nitric acids and with sulphur to form NITROGEN SULPHIDE.These two compounds of Nitrogen are then incorporated into the soil during Nitrogen fixation. The soil alone can not convert this Nitrogen into usable or rather consumable Nitrogen so only root noddles of leguminous plants like Beans can convert this nitrogen into usable one because they have nitrogen fixing bacteria like Rhizobium nigricans . But there are also some free living bacteria in the soil named Azotobacter which help in converting this nitrogen in the soil into usable Nitrogen so that plants can use it for growth.When these nitrogen compounds have been converted into usable nitrogen,plants now use it to produce food energy which are later on eaten upon by animals for growth.This process is called feeding like we all know.When these plants and animals die,their dead bodies decay and are embedded into the soil.Micro organisms now eat on these dead bodies.A process called putrefaction.These decomposed matters are later on converted into Ammonia in a process called Amonification by nitrogen fixing bacteria.The same Ammonia is converted into Nitrites and later on into nitrates by Nitrosomonas and Nitrobacters bacteria respectively and some of the nitrates are lost into the underneath soil a process called leaching during erosion by water and the nitrates are also absorbed by plants during food chain a process called Assimilation.The nitrates and nitrites are later sent back into the atmosphere during denitrification which is the reduction of nitrates back into the largely inert nitrogen gas (N2), completing the nitrogen cycle. This process is performed by bacterial species such as Pseudomonas and Clostridium in anaerobic conditions. They use the nitrate as an electron acceptor in the place of oxygen during respiration. These facultatively anaerobic bacteria can also live in aerobic conditions.Without forgetting that during thunder storms,Nitrogen is also sent back into the atmosphere.

Which organisms captures atmospheric nitrogen for the process of nitrogen fixation?
Legumes. They are the primary plant in an ecosystem, and help convert atmospheric nitrogen in nitrogen in the soil that plants can absorb through their root systems. The process is called nitrogen fixation.The organisms involved in nitrogen fixation are nitrifying bacteria like Azatobacter and Pseudomonas forming root nodules in legumenous plants.
