Nitrogen Cycle Story
Storyboard Text
- Ammonia is presented here.
- Bob, this is a terrible birthday present.
- Contrary to popular belief, nitrogen makes up the majority of the Earth's atmosphere instead than oxygen. It is necessary for both flora and fauna because it is a component of DNA, RNA, and proteins, but because they cannot use atmospheric nitrogen, certain processes must take place.
- When bacteria and other decomposers break down dead materials and release ammonia into the soil, this process is known as nitrogen fixation. However, this kind of nitrogen is still ineffective for usage by plants and animals. Natural phenomena with great energy can possibly be the culprit.
- Other bacteria receive this ammonia from these bacteria and use it. These carry out nitrification step 1, which involves converting ammonia into nitrites. Other bacteria receive this and perform step 2 on it, converting it to nitrate.
- Animals and plants can utilise these nitrites to produce the proteins, DNA, and RNA that are essential for their survival.
- Through the process of denitrification, nitrites are converted back into atmospheric nitrogen and are thus expelled from the ecosystem.
- Then the cycle repeats itself!
