The definition of can be interpreted as meeting a set of criteria including: organization, cellular composition, metabolism, responsiveness, homeostasis, development, reproduction, and evolution.

The correct answer is- life

Explanation:

Life is the condition that differentiates between living and non-living things on the basis of some sets of criteria like metabolism, homeostasis, reproduction, responsiveness, cellular composition, organization, development, and evolution.

All these functions are the characteristics of living things and the non-living things do not have these characteristics. Life can be in microscopic form like bacteria, virus, protozoa or in macroscopic form like humans, trees, etc. Life can be found from deep into the ocean floor to many kilometers above of earth surface. So the right answer is life.

the statement is true

step 1: nitrogen fixation- conversion of atmospheric no₂ into forms useful to plants by lightning, bacteria, and cyanobacteria.

step 2: nitrification-process of converting ammonia to nitrite or nitrate.

step 3: assimilation-plant roots absorb new form of nitrogen.

step 4: ammonification-conversion of organic nitrogen to ammonia by bacteria involved in decomposition.

step 5: denitrification-bacteria turns the decomposed matter back into n₂o, which is released into atmosphere; repeat cycle.
