Think of an example from your own life such as school, sports, or an extracurricular activity. Develop an analogy to explain why specialization and communication are as important to that activity as they are to a cell

In a school environment, there are different teachers who teach a different subject, administration controls all the school functions and affairs other than teaching. Other staff such as janitors, bus drivers carry out necessary functions.

In the schools, there are various specific tasks carried out by specific teaching or non-teaching staff. In the cell, a similar condition found as they show specialization and communication as various cell organelles are specific to a specific function and communicate with one another.

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.
