Nitrogen (the liquid) is so cold that it would freeze your mouth throat and stomach
Nitrogen (in compounds such as nitrates, nitrites, and protein) is a normal part of your diet
Nitrogen (in compounds such as ammonia and cyanide) is toxic

How do some plants that live in low-nitrogen soils get nitrogen?
The plants eat insects and other small animals.
Where does plants get nitrogen?
when animals eat plants,they get nitrogen compounds that their bodies need.plants do not make these nitrogen compounds. so from where do plants get their nitrogen compounds/ from the air

because it is in the food you eat.
What converts organic nitrogen into atmospheric nitrogen?
the slaves have to put it in there stew and then they eat it
How do herbivores get nitrogen?
they eat plants wih nitrogen in them
Nitrogen cycle in order?
nitrogen plants eat
How do animals get their nitrogen they need?
well, herbivores eat plants (which have nitrogen in them due to help from nitrogen fixating bacteria) then other animals eat herbivores. Since animals are heterotrophs they have to get their nutrients from other organisms.
How do animal obtain nitrogen?
Animals obtain nitrogen by eating plants which have absorbed nitrogen from the soil.
Can you eat liquid nitrogen?
No. Liquid nitrogen can cause serious tissue damage almost instantly.
What role do consumer in the nitrogen cycle?
consumers eat the plant which has nitrogen in it and when the animal, or organism dies the nitrogen goes back to the soil and to the plant est.
Why does plant eat insects?
To suppliment their nitrogen requirement
Plants that eat bugs are getting what?
fixed nitrogen
How do you be part of the nitrogen cycle?
We get Nitrogen compounds into our bodies through protein food we eat. This Nitrogen is again released to the environment by excretion. Also after animals are dead the nitrogen is released to the environment by decaying.
