A company wants to grow California mussels commercially in a bay on the coast. Sea stars are a predator of the California mussel. The company wants to use divers to remove all sea stars that are found in the bay, so they will not eat the California mussels. Based on what
you have learned, what do you think a computer simulation of removing the sea stars from the mussel beds would show? Explain your
answer

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.
