Since plants are not able to directly use atmospheric nitrogen, it must be converted into different form through a nitrogen cycle. Thanks to nitrogen fixing bacteria which converts atmospheric nitrogen into ammonium, nitrogen in the form of ammonium is now available to plants. Also, bacteria are decomposers. After the death of producers and consumers, decomposers eat dead organisms and release carbon, nitrogen, and other elements into the environment.

Q6. The answer is acting as a pathogen.

A pathogen is a microorganism that can cause a disease. Among different groups of organisms, some bacteria can be pathogens. Some species are pathogenic and are able to cause diseases such as tuberculosis, tetanus, cholera, etc. This pathogenic role of bacteria cannot be beneficial for humans. On the other hand, usage of bacteria in genetic engineering for production of some vitamins or hormones, such as insulin that lack in diabetic patients, can be of a great benefit to humans.

Q7. The answer is releasing toxins.

Bacteria can produce toxins that can promote an infection and cause a disease. Bacterial toxins can be endotoxins and exotoxins. EXOtoxins are after secretion released out of the cell. ENDOtoxins remain as the part of the bacteria and they are released only if bacteria are killed by the immune system of the organism. The organism will response to the presence of endotoxins and usually, inflammation occurs.
