kindly explain,
   with the help of an diagram  explain  nitrogen cycle ,        carbon cycle , oxygen cycle.

Dear Student
 

The Nitrogen Cycle:  Organisms require nitrogen to produce amino acids. Nitrogen makes up 70% of the atmosphere, but most organisms can not use this form of nitrogen, and must have the fixed form. The nitrogen cycle produces the fixed form of nitrogen these organisms need.

 Step 1: The nitrogen fixing bacteria take atmospheric nitrogen and produce ammonia (NH3).

Step 2: Other bacteria use this ammonia to produce nitrates and nitrites, which are nitrogen and oxygen containing compounds.

Step 3: The nitrates and nitrites are used by plants to make amino acids which are then used to make plant proteins.

Step 4: Plants are consumed by other organisms which use the plant amino acids to make their own.

Step 5: Decomposers convert the nitrogen found in other organisms into ammonia and return it to the soil. A few of these types of bacteria return nitrogen to the atmosphere by a process called denitrification, however this amount is small.


Summary of the events
 
  • Nitrogen Fixation (N2to NO3- or NH4)
  • Nitrification (NH3to NO3- )
  • Assimiliation (here the NH3and NO3- are incorporated into the biological tissues)
  • Ammonification (organic nitrogen compounds to NH3)
  • Denitrification (NO3- to N2)
*please post separately for rest of the cycle.
