Is nitrogen a type of gas?
nitrogen is a gas (N2)
Nitrogen gas consist of?
Nitrogen (N2) consists of two Nitrogen atoms.
How has the element nitrogen helped humans?
Nitrogen help humans in diffrent ways
If you were trying to make a compound of the noble gas xenon would you use nitrogen or fluorine?
fluorine- it is a gas
What is the most important gas in air for humans?
the most abundant gas is nitrogen answered by Isabella camera 10/18/10
Animals can use nitrogen only if it is in the form of?
Air/gas animals and humans breathe in, and a little bit of nitrogen is included in the air it has just breathed in.
What is the gas humans pass from their rectum?
Methane and nitrogen
Which stateof matter is nitrogen?
Nitrogen can be gas, liquid, or solid, depending on its temperature and the pressure on it. In the kind of conditions where humans are also comfortable, nitrogen is a gas.
How do humans use nitrogen?
Humans use nitrogen in the form of proteins. Bacteria found in soil convert atmospheric nitrogen into nitrates that plants use to produce proteins.
What 3 types of gas in a humans body?
nitrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide
Why does the gas liquid nitrogen have these use?
because most of our atmosphere has nitrogen in it
What do animals use nitrogen for?
The same reason humans do. People breath oxygen and nitrogen.
Do most organisms use nitrogen in the form of nitrogen gas?
No. They can not use nitrogen gas because the triple bonds of nitrogen can only be broken down for use in living things, plants, by the symbiotic bacteria in the root nodes. Then in other forms nitrogen is taken up into the plant and from there to other trophic levels.
Do most organisms use nitrogen directly form air?
Since the air around you is about 78% nitrogen gas, you might think it would be easy for organisms to retrieve nitrogen easily. However, most organisms cannot use nitrogen gas. Nitrogen gas is called "free" nitrogen because it's not combined with other atoms. Most organisms can use nitrogen only when it has been combined with other elements to form nitrogen-containing compounds. So, is that the answer you were looking for (possibly for homework)?
How is nitrogen gas processed or changes so that plant cells can use it?
Nitrogen is changed into compounds that plants can use by bacteria.
What converts nitrogen into air plants can use?
Plant can not use nitrogen "air" (gas), it must be "fixed" , a nitrous compound.
What must happen before humans can use nitrogen?
For humans to be able to use nitrogen it must be converted from N2 (g) to ammonium (NH4^+), nitrate (NO3^-), or organic nitrogen. Nitrogen is the majority of the air we breath but it is relatively inert due to the triple bond between N atoms.
