State

The nitrogen cycle moves nitrogen between its inert atmospheric form and biologically usable ones, entering through the fixation of Bio 2585 and returning by denitrification.

Show

Nitrogen-fixing bacteria in legume root nodules convert nitrogen gas into ammonia usable by the plant.

Watch for

Most organisms cannot use atmospheric nitrogen directly — fixation is a specialized bacterial bottleneck the cycle depends on.
