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.
How do plants obtain the nitrogen they need?
Some plants are leguminous and have root nodules by which they are able to directly absorb the nitrogen from the atmosphere. If the are not leguminous, they get the nitrogen from the soils via their roots. For the same purpose of supplying nitrogen to the plants, farmers also add nitrogenous fertilizers to the soil which provides sufficient amount of nitrogen to the plants
What do plants do with the nitrogen they take in?
they don't take in nitrogen
Why plant needs nitrogen?
Plants need nitrogen to build proteins and nucleic acids.
How do plants get the nitrogen they need to grow?
They absorb nitrogen through their roots.
What organisms are related to the nitrogen cycle?
All animals and plants. The air is 78% nitrogen.
How are the carbon and nitrogen cycles connected?
The carbon cycle and nitrogen cycle are related due to both plants and mammals using them. Plants take both carbon and nitrogen in and convert them to sugars and proteins that humans eat when eating the plants.
How are nitrogen and bacteria and plants all related to each other?
some leguminous plants like peas have legumes in there roots. legumes are small swellings, which contains nitrogen fixing bacteria. they helps in nitrogen fixation. other plants like paddy can use these nitrogen for there growth.
Can most plants use atmospheric nitrogen?
See the related link for information.
How do plants transfer nitrogen in the nitrogen cycle?
Plants transfer nitrogen in the nitrogen cycle through assimilation.
How do plants get nitrogen compared to how animals get nitrogen?
Most plants get nitrogen from fertilizers. Some plants can have a process called nitrogen fixing in which nitrogen from the is turned into ammonium compounds. Animals get their nitrogen from food, by eating plants and other animals.
Do plants produce food when they no nitrogen?
No,plants need nitrogen.
Do plants produced food when they have no nitrogen?
No,plants need nitrogen.
How do plants get atmospheric nitrogen?
some plants have bacteria in their roots which contain nitrogen when plants want nitrogen they exchange their food made them with nitrogen. Example: pea plants contain bacteria called rhizobium which contains nitrogen
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
How do plants and animals get nitrogen is not from the atmosphere?
In rainforests where there is loads of leeching, plants get their nitrogen from other dead plants, where a nitrogen cycle is established
