Which of the following correctly describes the importance of the nitrogen cycle?

to recycle carbon-based compounds

to replenish carbon in the atmosphere

to decompose dead plant matter

to create ammonia needed by plants to create proteins

The process of protein synthesis can be subdivided into four major steps: initiation, elongation, termination, and ribosome recycling.
