Which is not a pathway by which plants obtain nitrogen in a usable form?
photosynthesis
How do herbivivor's obtain the nitrogen they need?
Herbivores, like all consumer organisms, obtain their component atoms from the food they ingest. They cannot obtain Nitrogen from air (even though the air is about 78% nitrogen). Nitrogen is a key atom in all proteins - as part of the "amine" group in the "amino-acid" that makes up the backbone of all protein chains. This amino acid usually remains intact once digested, to be used to create new proteins that the herbivore might need for its own purposes.
Why is large scale generations of sulfur oxides easier to control than the generation of nitrogen oxides?
Regulating power plants lead to higher energy costs for consumers. However, regulating vehicles is also expensive for consumers.
Nitrogen is used by living organisms to produce?
Nitrogen is consumed by different organisms in different ways. Legumes (a type of plant) are able to take nitrogen straight out of the atmosphere (which is roughly 78% nitrogen gas). Animals aren't able to do this so they must obtain their nitrogen by eating substances such as vegetables and meat. We break down proteins (largely from meat) down to their constituents which are amino acids. This is how we obtain our source of nitrogen (amino acids contain nitrogen atoms). We then use these amino acids to build proteins that we need in our body such as tissue, enzymes, antibodies and more.
What are two ways that nitrogen is fixed so plants can use it?
The only forms of nitrogen compounds that living things can make use of are ammonia compounds and nitrate compounds.These are called "fixed nitrogen". Animals obtain the nitrogen they need from proteins in the plants and/or animals they eat. Proteins are amino acid polymers and amino acids are built around an ammonia group.
How do heterotrophs obtain nitrogen and carbon?
A heterotroph is an organism that must consume organic material for energy. Heterotrophs obtain carbon and nitrogen from the foods they consume. All living things contain some amount of protein, and proteins contain the nitrogen that heterotrophs need. Carbon is found in proteins, fats, and carbohydrates, so whatever a heterotroph eats, it will get lots of carbon.Heterotrophs get nitrogen and carbon from their food. Primary consumers get them by eating plants. Whereas secondary consumers get them from eating primary consumers.
How do animal obtain nitrogen?
Animals obtain nitrogen by eating plants which have absorbed nitrogen from the soil.
How producers consumers and decomposers obtain energy?
producers obtain energy from water and sunlight, consumers obtain energy from producers and decomposers obtain energy from comsumers.
What can be heated to obtain nitrogen?
Either ammonium nitrite or ammonium dichromate can he heated to obtain nitrogen gas.
What organisms return nitrogen to the soil?
consumers
What do Consumers obtain energy by eating what and other consumers?
THey obtain energy by eating consumers and producers.
What are the organisms that obtain energy from food?
Consumers
Are scorpions consumers?
scorpions are consumers because they eat other animals to obtain energy.
Can certain anmails obtain nitrogen from the atmosphere?
No.
How do and consumers obtain energy?
PRODUCERS: Producers obtain their food through a process called photosynthesis. The producer use sunlight, H20, CO2 and nutrients in the soil to create food (sugars and starches) and O2. CONSUMERS: Consumers obtain their food by consuming other organisms.
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.
Organisms that obtain their food from other organisms?
Consumers
