What is the most common way that nitrogen fixation occurs?
lightning
nitrogen fixing bacteria
fossil fuel combustion
forest fires
The process that converts Nitrates back to Nitrogen gas there by replenshing nitrogen in the atmosphere is called
Nitrification
Denitrification
Nitrogen Fixation
deamination
The nitrogen cycle, one of the most important biochemical cycles, may cause environmental problems because too much nitrogen can:
result in acid rain
deplete the ozone layer
contribute to the greenhouse effect
cause eutrophication in bodies of water
The nitrogen cycle is one of the most important and most complex of the biogeochemical cycles. It is important because nitrogen:
dilutes carbon dioxide and oxygen in the atmosphere
is an important nutrient, necessary for life
is a greenhouse gas
is the building-block of organic life
The Haber process refers to which biogeochemical cycle?
Carbon
Sulfur
Nitrogen
Water
The conversion of Ammonia to Nitrite and then to Nitrates is called:
Nitrification
Denitrification
Nitrogen Fixation
deamination
Only special bacteria can directly use nitrogen in our atmosphere and fix it so other organisms can benefit. These bacteria are called ....... bacteria
Nitrogen making
Nitrogen adjusting
Nitrogen fixing
Nitrogen assimilation
Nitrogen is assimilated/absorbed into plants in what form?
Nitrite
Ammonia
Nitrates
Both b and c
Ammonification is the process of
Formation of ammonia from nitrogen by nitrogen fixers
Formation of ammonia from amino acids by decomposers
Formation of ammonia from nitrates by nitrogen fixers
Formation of ammonia from nitrates by decomposers
