Slide Notes
Protein molecules are very large and When proteins are burnt we observe that they are
complex. made of
Simple nitrogenous molecules are built into complex nitrogen-containing protein molecules like actin. Actin is the protein in muscle.
Plants build proteins out of simple nitrogen compounds Bacteria living in the worm castings convert simple
such as; nitrogen compounds into nitrogen gas.
- NH3
- CH4ON2 Different types of bacteria convert nitrogen gas into simple
amino acids - eg. C2H5O2N nitrogen compounds.
