Declare your variable in the beginning of your script if you know you're gonna test it later. Don't give it a value at this point. A declared variable that has not been assigned a value will have the value 'null'. Use the === compare operator to check whether the variable is really boolean false. The == operator is not reliable as a value of 0 will also evaluate to false. (Basically, the === asks whether variable are of same value AND datatype!).
Nitrogen Fixation. Nitrogen fixation refers to the conversion of atmospheric nitrogen gas (N 2 ) into a form usable by plants and other organisms. Nitrogen fixation is conducted by a variety of bacteria, both as free-living organisms and in symbiotic association with plants. Because it is the principal source of the nitrogen in the soil, nitrogen that plants need to grow, nitrogen fixation is one of the most important biochemical processes on Earth.
Nitrogen fixation is the conversion of nitrogen that is found in  the atmosphere into ammonia-which is a form of nitrogen that can  be used by organisms.   Bacteria ar â¦ e cructial in this cycle because it is bacteria that  carry of this fixation. 3 people found this useful.
