New cards
Nitrogen Fixation
Bacteria turn N₂ → NH₃ (usable for plants)
2
New cards
Nitrogen-fixing Bacteria
bacteria that do nitrogen fixation
3
New cards
Ammonia (NH₃) / Ammonium (NH₄⁺)
usable nitrogen for plants
4
New cards
Nitrification
bacteria change ammonia → nitrites → nitrates
NH3 → NO2- → NO3-
5
New cards
Nitrifying Bacteria
bacteria that do nitrification
6
New cards
Nitrate (NO₃⁻)
plant’s fav nitrogen
7
New cards
Assimilation
plans absorb nitrogen to grow
8
New cards
Ammonification
decomposers turn dead stuff → ammonia
9
New cards
Denitrification
bacteria turn nitrates → N2 gas (back to air)
10
New cards
Dentrifying Bacteria
bacteria that do dentrification (no oxygen)
