The Nitrogen Cycle

The Nitrogen Cycle Nitrogen gas (N2) makes up 79% of our atmosphere Most organisms CAN NOT obtain nitrogen through the atmosphere! Nitrogen is an atom needed by plants and animals to make proteins and DNA It ranks fourth behind oxygen, carbon, and hydrogen as the most common chemical element in living tissues. So how do plants and animals obtain the necessary nitrogen?

The Nitrogen Cycle Since animals cannot get nitrogen directly from the atmosphere they must eat it through plants. Plants get their nitrogen through nitrogen-fixing bacteria that live in the soil

The Nitrogen Cycle What is the source of nitrogen for animal? Plant matter What is the source of nitrogen for plants? Decomposers, bacteria What is the source of nitrogen for decomposers? Once-living matter Which organisms act as a bridge between the nitrogen in the atmosphere and the organisms of the biosphere? bacteria How does fixed nitrogen (nitrate) get back into the atmosphere (nitrogen gas)? Denitrifying bacteria

The Nitrogen Cycle Use the graphic organizer in your notes to help simplify the nitrogen cycle.
