What is the process of combining nitrogen gas with other elements to make nitrogen into usable compounds?

• nitrogen composition

• nitrogen fixation

• ammonia

• denitrification

Nitrogen fixation deals with....

• bacteria coverting Nitrates to Ammonia then back to Nitrogen as it moves back into the atmosphere

• Plants absorbing Ammonium and Nitrates

• Bacteria converting atmospheric Nitrogen into ammonia in the roots of legumes

• bacteria converting ammonia to nitrates
