Vedclass · Answer

(B) The process of converting ammonia $(NH_3)$ into nitrite $(NO_2^-)$ and then into nitrate $(NO_3^-)$ by soil bacteria is known as Nitrification.This process is carried out by chemoautotrophic bacteria such as $Nitrosomonas$ and $Nitrobacter$.Ammonification is the conversion of organic nitrogen into ammonia.Denitrification is the reduction of nitrate back into gaseous nitrogen $(N_2)$.Nitrogen fixation is the conversion of atmospheric nitrogen $(N_2)$ into ammonia.
