Most organisms cannot use Nitrogen gas. This is called "Free" nitrogen. It must be fixed. What does this mean?

• combined with other elments.

• taped back together

• released into the atmosphere.

• fused to form a new element.

Answer explanation

Fixing nitrogen refers to the process of converting nitrogen gas (N2) into a form that can be used by living organisms. This process is known as nitrogen fixation and is carried out by certain bacteria and archaea. The nitrogen is converted into ammonia (NH3) or nitrate (NO3-) which can then be used by plants and other organisms to make proteins and other molecules. Nitrogen fixation is an essential process for life on Earth, as it is the only way for organisms to access the nitrogen they need to survive.
