Which cycle includes bacteria taking gas from the atmosphere and converting it into a material that plants can absorb through root systems?

AThe phosphate cycle
BThe water cycle
CThe nitrogen cycle
DThe oxygen and carbon dioxide cycle

Verified Answer :

The nitrogen cycle would be the correct answer.

Answer:

C. The nitrogen cycle

Explanation:

In the nitrogen cycle, we have the presence of nitrogen-fixing bacteria, which are essential for this cycle to occur.

This is because, plants are not able to absorb atmospheric nitrogen. So these bacteria, present in the soil, capture nitrogen from the atmosphere and initiate a series of chemical reactions that confers nitrogen in a way that plants can absorb it through their roots.
