The Nitrogen Cycle
This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.
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.
