4Which stage of the nitrogen cycle involve denitrifying bacteria which convert soil nitrates into gaseous nitrogen?
- AAmmonification
- BNitrification
- CNitrogen-fixation
- DDenitrification
5What are the two main types of microorganisms that carry out nitrogen fixation?
- ASaprobiotic bacteria
- BFree-living nitrogen-fixing bacteria
- CDenitrifying bacteria
- DMutualistic nitrogen-fixing bacteria
6What do free-living nitrogen-fixing bacteria do?
