Plant growth is limited by available nitrogen. Why is nitrogen fixation a limiting factor? There is very little nitrogen available after fossil fuel combustion utilizes the available nitrogen. Nitrogen must be produced by bacteria due to the inability of recycling by decomposers. There is no nitrogen in the atmosphere; it is only found in aquatic biomes. The stability of nitrogen gas makes it difficult to turn into nitrogen for living things.

Figure 22.19 Which of the following statements about the nitrogen cycle is false? Nitrogen fixing bacteria exist on the root nodules of legumes and in the soil. Denitrifying bacteria convert nitrates (NO3 ) into nitrogen gas (N2). Ammonification is the process by which ammonium ion (NH4+) is released from decomposing organic compounds. Nitrification is the process by which nitrites (NO2-) are converted to ammonium ion (NH4+).
All of the following carbon sources can be used for nutrition, by at least some exclusively heterotrophic organisms, with the exception of: CH3CH2OH CO2 HCOOH CH4 CH3COOH
The following carbon sources can be used for nutrition, by at least some heterotrophic organisms, except: CH3COOH CH3OH CO2 CH4 HCOOH
In terms of the nitrogen cycle and movement of electrons, what is the difference between nitrogen fixation and assimilatory nitrate reduction
Which fraction of phosphorus is available for photosynthetic organisms to directly uptake and use? Organic phosphorus in detritus Absorbed phosphorus in clay Phosphorus in minerals in rocks Soluble phosphorus in water
Why is nitrogen fixation so energetically costly?
When a salmon carcass rots in a riparian forest and the nitrogen is released into the environment, it contributes to this flux in the nitrogen cycle: mineralization denitrification nitrogen immobilization Onitrogen fixation nitrification
In the nitrogen cycle the Assimilation process is a metabolic reaction: anabolic, catabolic, endergonic, exergonic, heterotrophic or autotrophic.
Which nitrogen flux is incorrectly described? O nitrification is the conversion of ammonium to nitrates nitrogen mineralization is the conversion of organic nitrogen to inorganic nitrogen nitrogen immo bilization is the conversion of ammonium to metamorphic rock O denitrification is the conversion of nitrate to nitrogen gas O nitrogen fixation is the conversion of nitrogen gas to bioavailable forms of nitrogen

How does water pollution affect the Phosphorus, Carbon, and Nitrogen Cycles? My question is how does water pollution affect the Phosphorus, Carbon, and Nitrogen Cycles, not how does the phosphorus, Carbon, and Nitrogen Cycles cause water pollution. Please answer the question correctly.
