Drawing of the Nitrogen
Cycle as it occurs in
both sections of your
bottle
Title
Colored diagram of bottle
Include & correctly label:
In terrestrial:
N2 in atmosphere but not used by
organisms,
soil bacteria fixing N2 so plants can use,
primary consumer eating plant to get
nitrogen,
nitrogen passed to secondary consumer,
nitrogen released during decomposition,
In aquatic: fish release ammonia,
bacteria convert ammonia into nitrite,
bacteria convert nitrite into less
harmful nitrate,
plants use nitrate for food
