How does the movement of nitrogen from the atmosphere to producers to consumers and back to the atmosphere happen?
This is called the nitrogen cycle.Nitrogen is an inert gas and does not form compounds very easily, but it is a vital component in proteins needed for life on Earth. It is made to form compounds in two ways :-Using the energy on the inside of lightning strikesUsing specialist bacteria called nitrogen fixing bacteria that are to be found in association with the roots of (particularly) leguminous plants.Once in a compound form life can absorb and use it to make proteins and it becomes part of the biosphere passing from one organism to the next as part of the food chain. In certain instances vast of nitrogen rich deposits can form as birds or bats make mound of their droppings (guano). Eventually however the organic compounds containing the nitrogen are broken down by decomposer organisms and the nitrogen get released again as an atmospheric gas.In recent time humans have learned how to make nitrogen fertilizers, taking nitrogen out of the air and making compounds out of it using the energy of fossil fuels to do this. This unnatural excess of nitrogen added into the nitrogen cycle can and does upset the environment and is responsible for algal blooms in lakes etc.
How Nitrogen fixation for plants occurs in what organism?
Nitrogen fixation is carried out by nitrogen fixing bacteria in the nodules of the roots of legumes, and in the soil.
What is nitrogen shuttle?
a molecule that carries Nitrogen and can Donate the Nitrogen towards building of other molecules like proteins or DNA. An important Nitrogen Shuttle is Glutamine. It can produce Ammonium, be a source of energy and have other functions too.
What is nitrogen fixation and who can do this?
Conversion of inert elemental nitrogen gas into biologically usable form is called nitrogen fixation. Organism that performs nitrogen fixation is Rhizobium Leguminous.
What process in an organism is linked to the carbon cycle but not the nitrogen cycle?
Photosynthesis is a process in an organism that is linked to the carbon cycle but not the nitrogen cycle. In photosynthesis, carbon dioxide is taken up by plants to produce glucose and oxygen, which are important components of the carbon cycle. However, nitrogen is not directly involved in this process.
What organism is responsible for converting nitrogen into nitrates?
Nitrogen-fixing bacteria, such as Rhizobium and Azotobacter, are responsible for converting atmospheric nitrogen into nitrates through a process called nitrogen fixation. These bacteria can be found in the soil and form symbiotic relationships with plants to provide them with usable forms of nitrogen.
Which process is most directly responsible for maintaining internal stability in an organism when its environment is constantly changing?
feedback
What organism turns nitrates back into nitrogen gas?
Denitrifying bacteria are responsible for converting nitrates back into nitrogen gas as part of the nitrogen cycle. These bacteria thrive in oxygen-poor environments and break down nitrates into nitrites and eventually into nitrogen gas.
What type of organism is primarily responsible for the conversion of nitrogen into a useable form?
Nitrogen-fixing bacteria are primarily responsible for converting atmospheric nitrogen into a useable form, such as ammonia, that can then be utilized by plants for growth and development. These bacteria are found in the root nodules of leguminous plants, where they form a symbiotic relationship with the plant.
What compound does chlamydomonas make fron nitrogen?
Chlamydomonas can convert nitrogen into various compounds, but one important one is chlorophyll. Chlorophyll is a green pigment crucial for photosynthesis, allowing the organism to capture energy from sunlight.
What is the term for a organism that breathes a substance other than Oxygen?
An organism that breathes a substance other than oxygen is known as an anaerobe. Anaerobes do not require oxygen for respiration and can use other substances such as sulfur or nitrogen compounds.
How does an organism show evidence of the chemicals of life?
All organisms are composed of the chemicals of life. This includes carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen and the many compounds made from these elements.

What are the elements found in metabolic waste?
There are nitrogen compounds, water, carbon dioxide, phosphates, sulfates, indoles, medicals, food additives and other things that cannot be used by the organism.
What happens to the nitrogen in organism's body when the organism dies?
When an organism dies the nitrogen in its body it is released by action of decomposers. A desert is a biome that is very dry and little precipitation.
What happen to the nitrogen in an organism after it dies?
Well, most of the Nitrogen in an organism's body is excreted as urine, urea or ammonia.
When an organism dies the nitrogen in its body do what?
the nitrogen in its body is released by the action of decomposers
