Steps Of the Nitrogen Cycle
- Nitrogen (N2) is converted in ammonia (NH3) by bacteria in water and soil, and subsequently converted into nitrite and its derivatives.
- Plants get nitrogen from the soil through the roots, producing organic compounds.
- Animals absorb nitrogen by eating the plants.
- Decomposed plants and animals, along with the solid waste return nitrogen into the soil.
- Bacteria convert ammonia into nitrite and nitrate.
- These compounds are then converted into pure nitrogen by nitrifying bacteria, taking it back into the atmosphere.

The Nitrogen Cycle
Nitrogen is an essential component of biological molecules like amino and nucleic acids, but most living organisms cannot use the element in its pure form and need a derivative component, NH3(ammonia) to be able to synthesize organic components.
The Phosphorus Cycle
A component of certain biological molecules like phospholipids, DNA and adenosine triphosphate (ATP), phosphorus is circulated in the environment through the soil, water rocks and living organisms.
It is found organically as phosphate ion and is added to the soil and water through natural ...
