Nitrogen cycle A simple and complete diagram of the nitrogen cycle. The blue boxes represent stores of nitrogen‚ the green writing is for processes that occur to move the nitrogen from one place to another and the red writing are all the bacteria involved. The nitrogen cycle is the process by which nitrogen is converted between its various chemical forms. This transformation can be carried out through both biological and physical processes. Important processes in the nitrogen cycle include fixation

NITROGEN CYCLE IN SURFACE WATER BODIES by: yusra shamsudin 1.0 Nitrogen Nitrogen is very essential to all living matters especially to plant‚ animal and human. The source of nitrogen is from the atmosphere and it is exists as a molecule composed of two atom of nitrogen that is bonded together by triple bond. Figure 1: Nitrogen Source: anyone4science.blogspot.com 2.0 Nitrogen Cycle Nitrogen cycle is the transformation of nitrogen from one form to another. For living organism

The Processes of the nitrogen cycle Nitrogen fixation Atmospheric nitrogen must be processed‚ or "fixed" (see page on nitrogen fixation)‚ in order to be used by plants. Some fixation occurs in lightning strikes‚ but most fixation is done by free-living or symbiotic bacteria. These bacteria have the nitrogenase enzyme that combines gaseous nitrogen with hydrogen to produce ammonia‚ which is then further converted by the bacteria to make their own organic compounds. Some nitrogen fixing bacteria‚ such

The process of Nitrogen being released from Alanine‚ oxidized by soil microbes‚ absorbed by a root‚ and reduced and assimilated into aspartic acid is known as the Nitrogen Cycle. This cycle is necessary because there is a shortage of nitrogen in the soil; therefore‚ most of the soil nitrogen is obtained from dead organic materials such as Amino Acids. The first step in this process is nitrogen being released from the amino acid. This process is known as ammonification. Alanine is used as an organic

The Nitrogen Cycle The Nitrogen cycle is the exchange of nitrogen gas in the earth’s atmosphere and living organism’s. Nitrogen is a necessity to all living organisms in their production of proteins‚ DNA‚ and RNA in their cells . However‚ only a few organisms can use this gas directly‚ due to the fact that it may limit the growth of plants. Nitrogen takes up about 78% of the earth’s atmosphere. The nitrogen cycle has three main chemical transformations‚ including nitrogen fixation‚ nitrification

Nitrogen cycle Nitrogen gas is a colourless‚ odourless and non-toxic gas which makes up about 78 percent of the atmosphere. Nitrogen is extremely important to living material; in fact plants‚ animals and humans could not live without it. Sprent (1987) argued that nitrogen cycle is the most important process to living organisms after the carbon cycle. But nitrogen exists as dinitrogen (N2) in the atmosphere‚ which living things‚ particularly plants‚ cannot synthesize (citation) The process of nitrogen

Carbon‚ Phosphorus‚ and Nitrogen Cycles By: Amy Gentry There are three importation cycles that the environment. The three cycles are carbon‚ phosphorus and nitrogen cycles. These cycles are part of photosynthesis. These are a chain that keeps everything going in the word. These cycles keep animal alive and plants and people breathing. Carbon cycle is an Importation one of the cycle on earth. You get carbon atoms from co2 then become carbon atoms of the organic molecules are making up the plant

Humans have been around for millions of years‚ and they have impact each of the cycles in many ways. The carbon cycle humans have impact the most. By burning fossil fuels we have increased atmospheric carbon dioxide by at least 35%. (Boorse‚ 2011). The impact that humans have had on this cycle has change many different elements of the natural environment. An example is the ozone layer is slowly being thinned out‚ which in turn is heating up the atmosphere of the earth. The thinning of the ozone
