Nitrogen Cycle and fertillisers

Question 1

Ammonia

Answer 1

Inorganic chemical compound NH3, part of nitrogen cycle and used to make fertillisers

Question 2

Ammonification

Answer 2

the process by which organic nitrogen is converted into ammonia or ammonium through the action of bacteria and fungi.

Question 3

Denitrification

Answer 3

the process by which nitrogen compounds are converted into a gas and released into the atmosphere

Question 4

Denitrifying bacteria

Answer 4

convert nitrates and nitrites in soil into nitrogen gas

Question 5

Eutrofication

Answer 5

Eutrophication occurs when there is an excess of nutrients, such as nitrogen, in an environment. This can happen when nitrogen from fertilizers or other sources washes into waterways, causing an overgrowth of plants and algae. This can lead to harmful algal blooms, dead zones, and fish kills
