True or false? All organisms require nitrogen to make amino acids, which in turn are used to create proteins.

Answer (2)

**True.
In the process of the nitrogen cycle. ** The nitrogen cycle is a biogeochemical succession process of nitrogen that involves: fixation, ammonification, nitrification, and denitrification. Like any other biogeochemical cycles. This process undergoes and affects the biological, geometrical and chemical aspects in the ecosystem and the abiotic and biotic community. Hence, the nitrogen cycle leads the abiotic component –nitrogen- to contribute to the biotic community, decomposition and primal production. Further, it becomes an essential part of the environment because some life components are contains it, similarly, amino acids, nucleic acids in RNA and DNA.

True, all organisms require nitrogen to make amino acids, which are used to create proteins. Nitrogen, although abundant in the atmosphere, must be fixed into usable forms like ammonia or nitrate for living organisms. This fixation is carried out by certain bacteria and through industrial processes, enabling the incorporation of nitrogen into biological systems.
