Which element found in the soil is used by plants in the form of chemical compounds?
Nitrogen is needed by plants and they get it from the soil in compounds that contain the nitrogen.
What is the compound in the soil used by plants?
There are too many to list. A few are water, nitrate compounds, ammonia compounds, phosphate compounds, sulfur compounds, silica, etc.
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
When there is not enough nitrogen in the atmosphere for plants how do the plants get it?
Plants do not actually get their nitrogen from the atmosphere. They get it in compounds in the soil through their roots. Some plants form symbiotic relationships with bacteria in the soil. The bacteria draw nitrogen from the air and form nitrogen compounds. The plants can then use the nitrogen.
Can plants absorb nitrogen compounds from soil on their own?
Yes. Vascular plants can absorb nitrogen compounds such as nitrates from the soil on their own.What plants can't do on their own is fix nitrogen from the air into nitrogen compounds. Some plants including legumes (such as peas, beans, lupins) and casuarinas form symbioses with nitrogen-fixing bacteria to form nitrogen into nitrogen compounds.
Two ways by which plants get nitrogen compounds?
Some essential nitrogen compounds can be absorbed by plants from the soil in which they grow. the nitrogen compounds can be provided to the soil by nitrogen-fixing bacteria living in association with the plants and/or from fertilizers. Some nitrogen compounds can also be input to the soil from lightning strikes that provide activation energy to facilitate the reaction of atmospheric nitrogen to produce absorbable nitrogen compounds that can be carried into soil by rain.
What happens to the nitrogen compounds that are not absorb by the plants?
A number microbes in the soil, water and air transform these nitrogen compounds
What is brown and used for growing plants in 4 letters?
The answer is soil. Soil is brown and is used to grow plants in.
Importance of nitrogen?
Nitrogen compounds are used to make ammonia based fertilizers. Ammonia helps the plants in the soil to generate nutrients when there is adequate water and air in the soil.
Why bacteria in the soil is necessary in ecosystem?
Many species of soil bacteria fix nitrogen,that is, they convert it into compounds that are readily absorbed by plants.
Definition of bioactive compounds in plants?
Compounds synthesized by plants that have the potential to be used by humans for a variety of applications.
What is soil used in?
plants.......
