ANSWER-

TRUE- nitrogen is released as ammonia as bacteria breakdown decaying organic tissue

FALSE- nitrogen is transferred through water air and trophic cycle

we all know that nitrogen is present something 78 percent in the air but still it can not be absorbed or transferred,thus one can say that nitrogen can not be taken through air, about water too, it can't be taken up as N2 can not be transferred ,there is a need of specific bacteria which converts the nitrogen into ammonia and nitrites and nitrates which is then taken up by the living organisms and is pass through tropic levels too.

below is a rough Diagrammatic representation of the above explanation through nitrogen cycle

The comammox bacteria play a role in nitrification and therefore in the nitrogen cycle. Other microbes, with distinct ecological niches, also participate in the nitrogen cycle. The metabolic reactions involving nitrogen that bacteria perform include: nitrogen fixation (N2 → NH3), nitrification (NH3 → NO3- or NO2-), and denitrification (NO3- or NO2- → NO, N2O, and N2), all of which make up the nitrogen cycle. Each of these reactions is carried out by a unique set of microorganisms with a distinct...
