Describe the nitrogen cycle
answers
​During thunderstorm/ lightning; nitrogen gas combines with O2 to form nitrogen oxides; nitrogen oxides dissolve in water to for nitric acid; acid is deposited in the soil by rain, nitric acid combines with chemical substance to form nitrates/ nitric acids dissolves to form nitrates which are absorbed by plants symbiotic bacteria/ such as rhizobium; which are found in root nodules of leguminous plants, fix free nitrogen to nitrates.
Free living bacteria/ clatridium/ azotobacteria fix nitrogen to all rates Nostoc algae/ chlorella/ anaemia/ ix nitrogen to nitrates. Plants use Nitrates to form plant proteins Animals feed on plants and convert plant proteins into animal proteins Plants/ animals die and decomposed by bacteria/ saprophytes/ fungi decomposing plants/ animals/ release ammonia which is covered to nitrates/ by nitrosomomes nitrococcus bacteria Nitrates are converted to nitrates; by nitrobacteria Nitrates in the soil can be converted to free nitrogen/ denitrification by some fungi; pseudomonas/ hulobacillus denitrifying bacteria.
