Herbivores get the nitrogen they need by eating plants.
Herbivores need nitrogen because it is essential for their metabolic systems and cellular structures.
All organisms need nitrogen because it is a component of all proteins and many other essential molecules.
All organisms need nitrogen because it is a component of all proteins and many other essential molecules.
They absorb nitrogen through their roots.
they eat plants wih nitrogen in them
No green plants are not herbivores they actually olny need sunlight and water to grow.
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.

nitrogen and phosphorous
Atmospheric nitrogen fixation is the process where nitrogen is converted into ammonia. Without nitrogen, organisms couldn't grow, and organisms need nitrogen more than anything to grow.
Nitrogen is needed for everything to grow well. It is essentially a building block for proteins.
Without nitrogen-fixing bacteria some plants cannot grow. Without these key plants herbivores can die off, thus limiting the food source of carnivores.
