The nitrogen cycle is the process in which plants absorb nutrients from the soil in order for them to thrive and become producers in the ecosystem. 

If I am a nitrogen molecule I would come from bacteria that would break me down and turn me into nitrates that can be absorbed by the soil. I can also come from the atmosphere because I am abundant in the atmosphere of the earth. 

Answer:

Bacteria perform nitrogen fixation.

More bacteria perform nitrification.

Nitrogen, in usable form, is taken up by plants and assimilated into their proteins (becoming part of the plant).

An animal eats the plant and the nitrogen becomes part of the animal’s proteins.

An animal dies and decomposes, or excretes waste, returning the nitrogen to the soil.
