You are a molecule of nitrogen. Choose a starting point in the nitrogen cycle and describe the process you would go through to move through the entire cycle.

Answer:

Bacteria perform nitrogen fixation. More bacteria perform nitrification. Nitrogen, in usable form, is taken up by plants and assimilated into their proteins (becoming part of the plant). An animal eats the plant and the nitrogen becomes part of the animal’s proteins. An animal dies and decomposes, or excretes waste, returning the nitrogen to the soil.
