The nitrogen cycle involves the movement of atmospheric nitrogen through a series of nitrifying bacteria, which process the nitrogen into forms that can be absorbed and used by other living organisms. Which of the following paths best represent the correct order of this process, starting with atmospheric nitrogen and ending with a form of nitrogen that most plants (producers) can use? Select one: O a. N2(g) →→ ammonium nitrite - 1 1 1 nitrate b. nitrite ammonium-N2(g) → nitrate 1 c. nitrate-N2(g) → ammonium nitrate O d. ammonium-nitrate- nitrite N2) - 1

Figure 46.17 Which of the following statements about the nitrogen cycle is false? Ammonification converts organic nitrogenous matter from living organisms into ammonium (NH4+). Denitrification by bacteria converts nitrates (NO3-) to nitrogen gas (N2). Nitrification by bacteria converts nitrates (NO3) to nitrites (NO2-). Nitrogen fixing bacteria convert nitrogen gas (N2) into organic compounds.
Nitrogen deficiency stunts plant growth and causes leaves to turn yellow and then die. Why does nitrogen deficiency cause these symptoms? Hint: Think about which biological molecules incorporate nitrogen atoms.

Match the following biogeochemical cycles terms to the correct definiton. In this cycle the absorption of this 1. bio-essential element from the atmosphere increases the pH of the oceans. The main reservoir of this nutrient 2. is in the building block for all necessary biomolecules (fats, proteins, and carbohydrates) that constitute an important part of the inorganic matter. The element of this cycle is stored 3. in long-term in Carbonate rocks (e.g., limestone) And Fossil carbon (e.g., oil, coal) SInk The material flows in from the 4. reservoir. Source The reincorporation of this 5. element in its cycle is slow Carbon cycle because a considerable amount of it is stored in animal epidermal Phosphorus cycle alpha-keratin protein filaments. In this cycle the fungi from 6. the Rhizobium family helps in the Nitrogen cycle fixation of this element into the soil. Most plants cannot access this 7. nutrient from the atmosphere; therefore, they obtain it from the soil. This cycle refers to a 8.…

Make a simple diagram or drawing (arrows only if you want to) the interconnection of carbon and nitrogen cycle. Also, write the microorganisms (Scientific names) involved in each process. Thank you!
In the nitrogen cycle the Assimilation process is a metabolic reaction: anabolic, catabolic, endergonic, exergonic, heterotrophic or autotrophic.
