What might happen in a community if all the nitrogen fixing bacteria died?
organisms in in the community would get sick or die

How are the process of nitrogen fixation and denitrification different?
nitrification= it is the conversion of ammonia first into nitrites then into nitrates by nitrifying bacteria. dentrification=it is the conversion of nitrites and nitrates into free nitrogen.
What must happen for plants to use nitrogen in the atmosphere?
Fixation
What processes happen to gaseous nitrogen before plants can use it to grow?
Fixation
what process must happen to gaseous nitrogen plants can use it to grow?
Fixation
What plants must happen to gaseous nitrogen before plants can use it to grow?
Fixation
What will happen if nitrogen fixation does not take place?
if nitrogen fixation does not take place nitrates will not be taken if nitrates are not there so there is no photosynthesis so it metaboills and if photosynthesis is not there so there is no life thats what nitrogen fixation not allows in nitrogen cycle
How is nitrogen in the atmosphere converted to nitrogen in the soil?
Nitrogen in the atmosphere is converted to nitrogen in the soil through a process called nitrogen fixation. This can happen through biological processes, where certain bacteria in the soil or in the roots of leguminous plants convert atmospheric nitrogen into a form that plants can use. This fixed nitrogen is essential for plant growth and soil fertility.
What is the transfer of nitrogen from the atmosphere to plants and back to the atmosphere or directly into plants again?
The transfer of nitrogen from the atmosphere to plants and back occurs through a process called nitrogen fixation. This can happen through the action of nitrogen-fixing bacteria that convert nitrogen gas into a form that plants can use. Once plants assimilate this nitrogen, it can be returned to the atmosphere through processes like denitrification or can be transferred to other organisms through the food chain.
What must happen for pure nitrogen in the air to be able to be used by plants?
Nitrogen in the air must be converted into a plant-usable form such as nitrate (NO3-) or ammonium (NH4+). This conversion process is carried out by nitrogen-fixing bacteria in the soil, which can either symbiotically associate with plant roots or exist freely in the soil. Plants can then absorb these converted forms of nitrogen from the soil to support their growth and development.
What if bacteria lost the ability to fix nitrogen?
Everybody would die. However, this is not likely to happen.
