How do some plants that live in low-nitrogen soils get nitrogen?
The plants eat insects and other small animals.
Why are plants important to the world?
as the world needs nitrogen (without being warmed up) in a large amount , its the plants which converts many of the nitrogen compounds to free nitrogen.
Plants transfer nitrogen in the nitrogen cycle?
Because leguminous plants are those plants which have nitrogen fixing bacteria in their roots in the modules of nitrogen. thus to fix the nitrogen to the soil or in crops is the work of those bacteria namely rhizobium and azotobacter thus without these plants we wont have these bacterias and alos the nitrogen
How does nitrogen from the air get into the bodies of plants and animals?
When the animals breathe in nitrogen it goes into their bodies so when they die and decompose the nitrogen they breathed in is now in the soil and also when they fertilize on the land.
What would happen to the nitrogen cycle if there were no green plants?
If there were no green plants there would be no nitrogen cycle.If there were no green plants, the nitrogen that most organisms need wouldn't be transferred to all living things. Nitrogen is in green plants first, and then the herbivores, omnivores, and carnivores get it by eating the plants or eating the animals that eat those plants. Without green plants, those animals wouldn't really have anything to get the nitrogen from. Nitrogen is crucial to all plants in making amino acids and proteins which they need to survive, so there would be no life on Earth.
What type of plants does nitrogen live on?
Nitrogen is an element and does not live on anything...
Why do plants and animals need nitrogen?
At the very basic level all DNA needs nitrogen. WIthout DNA there is no life.they need it to live
Is the most nitrogen fixation performed by plants?
It is performed by nitrogen fixing bacteria that live on the roots of plants.
How do some plants that live in low-nitrogen soils get nitrogen?
The plants eat insects and other small animals.
What is the importance of nitrogen and phosphorus?
Nitrogen covers 78% of the air around you! Which means you breath it and you can't live without it :(. Phosphorus is an essential nutrient for plants. It is, therefore, added to fertilizers.
In the nitrogen cycle bacteria that live on the roots of plants.?
change nitrogen gas into ammonia
Why are plants important to the world?
as the world needs nitrogen (without being warmed up) in a large amount , its the plants which converts many of the nitrogen compounds to free nitrogen.
How do plants and animals differ in the ways they obtain nitrogen?
Plants get it from bacteria which live associated with their roots who take atmospheric nitrogen and fixate it (nitrogen cycle). Animals can only get it by ingesting organic compounds which contain nitrogen, such as plants and other animals which have eaten plants.
Can plants live without humans and can humans live without plants?
yes. no.
What will happen without nitrogen?
To people, without nitrogen, their brains will burst (seriously). Same thing will happen to animals, and to plants, it will die.

What role does nitrogen play to ensure the continuity of life?
nitrogen is the main nutrient for plants without it plants cant survive without plants herbivorous animals cant survive without them carnivorous animals cant survive without either of them omnivorous animals cant survive
