Nitrogen-fixing bacteria change a nitrogen molecule into a form of nitrogen that plants can use. The nitrogen enters the plant through its root system and is used to build new plant tissue. What will most likely happen to the nitrogen next?
The nitrogen in the plant's tissue will break down into another kind of element through nuclear fission
The nitrogen will be converted into a sugar molecule through the process of photosynthesis.
The plant will die and the nitrogen will no longer exist.
An animal will eat the plant and the nitrogen will be used to help build part of the animal's body.
