Select the correct answer from each drop-down menu.What happens during nitrification?During nitrification, bacteria convert ammonia into and .

Nitrogen is an essential part of the proteins and DNA of organisms. Although nitrogen gas makes up about 78% of Earth’s atmosphere, it is unavailable for use by organisms in its gaseous form. Only when nitrogen is absorbed by beneficial bacteria in the roots of legumes does it enter the pathways that carry it through biological communities.The processes of conversion of atmospheric nitrogen first into ammonium ions (NH4+) and then into nitrates (NO3–) are called respectively*1 pointnitrogen fixation and denitrificationnitrogen fixation and nitrificationammonification and nitrificationammonification and denitrification
