This flashcard summarises key nitrogen cycle processes: nitrification (NH4+ to nitrates), ammonification, denitrification (anaerobic), and N2 fixation.
This flashcard summarises key parts of the nitrogen cycle, including nitrification by nitrosomonas and nitrobacter, ammonification, denitrification, and nitrogen fixation.
| Front | Recycling in ecosystems (N2 cycle) main parts |
|---|---|
| Back | - nitrosomas; NH4 to nitrites, nitrobacter; nitrites to nitrates - amonification (decomposition) involves conversion to NH4+, then to NH3 - denitrification anaerobic (waterlogged soils) e.g pseudomonas - N2 fixation is nitrogenase e.g azotobacter/rhizobium |
