 NITROGEN CYCLE
NITROGEN CYCLE:

Nitrogen Cycle- Nitrogen is the building block of proteins and nucleic acids such as DNA and is most
abundant in the atmosphere. The nitrogen cycle is the series of processes by which nitrogen is converted
between its various chemical forms. This transformation can be carried out through both biological and
physical processes.

Question
 NITROGEN CYCLE
Nitrogen fixation:

A. Nitrogen fixation- the conversion of free nitrogen from the atmosphere into the biologically
acceptable form of nitrogenous compounds. There are three ways to convert N ₂ into more chemically
reactive forms:
 NITROGEN CYCLE
Biological Nitrogen Fixation:

a. Biological nitrogen fixation- bacteria are able to fix nitrogen as organic nutrients such as Rhizobium.
 NITROGEN CYCLE
Physiochemical Nitrogen Fixation:

b. Physiochemical nitrogen fixation- atmospheric nitrogen combines with oxygen (as ozone) during
lightning in the clouds and produces different nitrogen oxides.
 NITROGEN CYCLE
Industrial Nitrogen Fixation:

c. Industrial nitrogen fixation- Under great pressure and the use of iron catalyst, hydrogen and
atmospheric nitrogen can be combined to form ammonia (NH₃) in the Haber-Bosch process.
 NITROGEN CYCLE
Nitrogen Assimilation:

B. Nitrogen assimilation- In this process, inorganic nitrogen which is in the form of nitrates, nitrites, and
ammonia is absorbed by the green plants via their roots and then it is converted into nitrogenous organic
compounds.
