Question

put the steps of the nitrogen cycle in order - starting with nitrogen gas in the atmosphere. note: this only part of the nitrogen cycle. nitrogen gas in the atmosphere nitrification - bacteria convert ammonia is converted into nitrites and then into nitrates. this takes place in the soil. food chain - animals eat plants and get nitrogen from their bodies. assimilation - plants absorb nitrates through their roots and use the nitrogen to build their bodies. nitrogen fixation - bacteria convert nitrogen gas from the atmosphere into ammonia in soil. animals get nitrogen

Explanation:

The nitrogen cycle starts with nitrogen gas in the atmosphere. Nitrogen fixation by bacteria converts it to ammonia. Then nitrification by bacteria turns ammonia into nitrites and nitrates. Plants absorb nitrates (assimilation). Animals eat plants (food chain) to get nitrogen.

Answer:

Nitrogen Fixation - Bacteria convert nitrogen gas from the atmosphere into ammonia in soil. Nitrification - Bacteria convert ammonia is converted into nitrites and then into nitrates. This takes place in the soil. Assimilation - Plants absorb nitrates through their roots and use the nitrogen to build their bodies. Food chain - Animals eat plants and get nitrogen from their bodies.
