Question

Imagine there was a campaign to wipe out all bacteria. Why would this not be a good
idea? In your answer, include the terms amino acids, ammonia, nitrites, and nitrates as you
discuss the role of bacteria in the nitrogen cycle.​

Answer 1

Answer:

If all the bacteria are removed from the earth, all the organisms are negatively affected.

Explanation: There are also some beneficial bacteria which helps in the nitrogen fixation called Nitrogen fixing bacteria such as Cyanobacteria and Azotobactor. These bacteria fixes atmospheric nitrogen into ammonium and nitrates form because plants are unable to use the atmospheric nitrogen, it only use nitrogen in ammonia and nitrates form. Plants absorb nitrates and form amino acid.
