which of these organisms convert atmospheric nitrogen gas to a form that can be utilized by plants? a. bacteria b. protists c. consumers d. producers e. fungi
Legumes. They are the primary plant in an ecosystem, and help convert atmospheric nitrogen in nitrogen in the soil that plants can absorb through their root systems. The process is called nitrogen fixation.The organisms involved in nitrogen fixation are nitrifying bacteria like Azatobacter and Pseudomonas forming root nodules in legumenous plants.
Plants can not absorb atmospheric elemental Nitrogen (N2). The nitrogen must be bound to carbon or hydrogen atoms such as ammonia (NH3), or Urea (NH2)2CO. Nitrogen Fixing Plants such as clover have a symbiotic relationship with bacteria on their root system that convert atmospheric nitrogen (N2) to forms that the plants can use.
Although the air is made up of about 70% nitrogen, plants cannot use nitrogen in this N2 form. Nitrogen fixing bacteria change nitrogen into the form of soluble nitrates so that plants can use it. Other bacteria, known as de-nitrifying bacteria, change nitrates back into N2, which completes the nitrogen cycle Updated by: Levi Levitt
Bacteria convert atmospheric nitrogen into a nitrogen-containing ion that plants can absorb.
The nodules contain bacteria which can convert atmospheric nitrogen into ammonia
they are found on the roots of plants and are grouping of bacteria that help convert atmospheric nitrogen to nitrogen plants can utilize
Nitrogen fixing bacteria convert atmospheric N2 to organically accessable compounds. Nitrogen is an important nutrient for plants. Kevin 2012
the slaves have to put it in there stew and then they eat it
Rhizoobium or nitrogen fixing bacteria lives in the roots of leguminous plants.leguminous plants are not able to use atmospheric nitrogen as sush,so these bacteria convert nitrogen into simpler forms i.e nitrates and nitrits which are easily used up by these plants.
They are caused by a symbiotic bacteria which benefits the plant by fixing atmospheric nitrogen (which the plant needs to make proteins).
Humans use nitrogen in the form of proteins. Bacteria found in soil convert atmospheric nitrogen into nitrates that plants use to produce proteins.
Legumes (e.g peas and beans). They form symbiotic relationships with Rhizobia bacteria which fix atmospheric nitrogen into nitrates which can be used by the plant.
Actually nitrogen exist in the atmosphere in dinitrogen (N2) form and cannot be utilized directly. As such bacteria help in converting atmospheric nitrogen into ammonia which then can be used by the plants.

Rhizobia are known as nitrogen fixation bacteria. Nitrogen is an essential element for plants and it is plentiful in the atmosphere but in a form that is inaccessible to plants. Rhizobia can convert atmospheric nitrogen into a form that plants can uptake through their roots.
