True or false, explain the false.
a. Denitrification is an aerobic process carried out by bacteria
that use nitrogenous compounds as electron acceptors in aerobic
respiration.
b. Nitrite-oxidizing bacteria use the enzyme nitrite oxidoreductase
to oxidize nitrite to nitrate.
c. In ammonification, one group of bacteria oxidizes ammonia to
nitrite and the other reduces it to nitrate.
d. Ammonification is the conversion of nitrogen that in living
matter appears mainly as amino (-NH2) or imino (-NH-) groups to
ammonium ion
