How are you able to obtain the nitrogen your body needs?
The air you breath is roughly 80% Nitrogen. But your body can't use the nitrogen directly from the air, so that doesn't do you any good. There are certain bacteria that take nitrogen that gets into the soil the soil and make it into compounds that your body can use, so when you eat plants you can get the nitrogen your body needs. For more information, look up the "nitrogen cycle."
In what form do plants use nitrogen so they can make protein?
Plants can not absorb atmospheric elemental Nitrogen (N2). The nitrogen must be bound to carbon or hydrogen atoms such as ammonia (NH3), or Urea (NH2)2CO. Nitrogen Fixing Plants such as clover have a symbiotic relationship with bacteria on their root system that convert atmospheric nitrogen (N2) to forms that the plants can use.
What would be a direct concequence of the dissapearance of nitorgen-fixing prokaryotes?
Plants couldn't make ammonia, so they would lack nitrogen, which is a component of proteins and nucleic acid. Since every species in the food chain ultimately gets their nitrogen from nitrogen fixation, they'd either have to find a new way of getting nitrogen or find a way of making nucleic acids and protein without it. The only alternative is extinction.
Does blood make grass grow green?
Blood is full of nitrogen. Nitrogen makes grass grow. So yes.
Is microorganisms is nuisance or necessity?
They are both. Some microorganisms can kill us. But they also play an essential role in our body - so much so that even a HEALTHY person has about 10 microorganisms for every cell.
How many grams of nitrogen are in a gram of protein?
protein is 16% nitrogen so the answer would be 0.16g of nitrogen per gram of protein
How is the nitrogen cycle affected by desertification?
In the case of nitrogen-fixating bacteria or other microorganisms living in symbiosis with plants, if plants are removed so too will the microorganisms.
What element is found in protein but not nucleotides?
Protein is made up of carbon, hydrogen, and nitrogen, starch is made up of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, so the answer is nitrogen.

What is 'nitrogen drawdown'?
The use by beneficial soil microorganisms for their own benefit of nitrogen from large particle soil amendments is 'nitrogen drawdown'. Soil amendments are below ground conditioners that are either organic or mineral in their makeup. A popular form are wood chips.Unfortunately, wood chips are so large that they may open up and thereby dry the very soil for which they're supposed to improve movement of air and moisture. They also attract beneficial decomposers. The problem lies in the strong attraction that the microorganisms feel towards the nitrogen in the chips.Breakdown of the chips is supposed to release nitrogen and other nutrients into the soil. Unfortunately, the microorganisms may feed so much on the nitrogen that the soil becomes nitrogen deficient. Plants indicate the nitrogen deficient nature of such soil by turning yellow. The solution is nitrogen fertilizer treatments until the wood chips are broken down.
How is nitrogen part of the biosphere?
It's continuously processed in the nitrogen cycle. In broad outline nitrogen in the atmosphere is fixed by bacteria so that it's available to plants making protein. This protein is consumed by animals and plants or returned to the atmosphere as methane. The plant nitrogen is converted to animal protein which is eventually returned to the atmosphere by bacteria. For more detail you might wish to refer to information on wikipedia.

Nitrogen Fixing Plants such as clover have a symbiotic relationship with bacteria on their root system that convert atmospheric nitrogen (N2) to forms that the plants can use.
Why must nitrogen be fixed in the nitrogen cycles?
It has to be fixed by things in the soil called nodules, so it can be a form that plants can use in order to get protein to perform photosynthesis.
What food products are dependent on microorganisms and why?
Everything. Microorganisms are essential for nitrogen fixation, so without them there would be no proteins, anywhere. So plants would grow, so nothing else would, either. Even if you got past that, ruminants depend on microorganisms to break down the coarse material they eat, so without them, no cows so no beef and no milk. If you mean this in a more specific sense of which ones directly use microorganisms in production, I can think of bread, which relies on yeast and certain cheeses, which use molds in their production.
What do ribosomes attract?
ribosomes is where protein is synthesised so i suppose they attract mrna for the code to make the protein and the amino acid to build the protein. ribosomes is where protein is synthesised so i suppose they attract mrna for the code to make the protein and the amino acid to build the protein.
How do microorganisms affect jam?
There is no microorganisms/bacteria living/growing in jam because it is so sweet and the sugar dehytrates the microorganisms so they can no longer live in the jam. So the answer is no, no microorganisms live in jam.
Why air along with microorganisms bubble into water in sewage treatment plant?
If microorganisms are used in the water treatment plant then it is necessary to provide oxygen to them and make the sludge degradation through them so air is bubbled for oxidation as well as for microorganisms.
