Hi dannah
Atmospheric N is fixed in the soil by bacteria. It is absorbed in plants and the plants eaten by animals
N in the form of NH3 gets into water and into water plants which are eaten by protozoans and then it further eenters the food chain and eventually into a fish. The fish excretes N waste
