The nitrogen cycle is important to all living things because all living things are composed of nitrogen. Nitrogen is the main component of amino acids which make up proteins, nucleic acids, and adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which is the basic energy molecule used by cells. Nitrogen cycle provides a form of usable nitrogen that plants and animals can use. This is done during lightning strikes or fires, or by certain types of bacteria (in a process known as nitrogen fixation).
