The nitrogen cycle involves the movement of atmospheric nitrogen
through a series of nitrifying bacteria, which process the nitrogen
into forms that can be absorbed and used by other living organisms,
Which of the following paths best represent the correct order of this
process, starting with atmospheric nitrogen and ending with a form
of nitrogen that most plants (producers) can use?
Select one:
O a. N2(g) → ammonium → nitrite → nitrate
-
b. nitrite →→ ammonium →→ N2(g) →→ nitrate
-
c. nitrate → N2(g) → ammonium → nitrate
d. ammonium nitrate → nitrite → N2(g)

Why is energy required for nutrient transport? Give an example of a system that transports nutrients and describe what source of energy is used to move the nutrients into the cell.
Why can’t most organisms use the nitrogen gas that is so prevalent in the atmosphere? How do these organisms acquire a usable form of nitrogen?
