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)
