Plants cannot make protein from pure carbohydrate, because proteins contain nitrogen and sometimes sulphur. They get the nitrogen which they need from the nitrates in the soil.the bacteria called `Rhizobium `lives in the roots of legminous plants and leg. plants need nitrogen to grow pulses.The bacteria called `rhizobium` changes the atmospheric nitrogen in solution form and in return the plants give the bacteria shelter and food thus this is called a symbiotic relationship .
Nitrogen is amajor compound in amino acids, which are the building blocks for proteins. In most organisms, proteins are used to provide structure, as energy sources and as catalysts for cellular reactions (in the form of enzymes).
its the nitrogen cycle... really i didn't no
Plants absorb nitrogen compounds either from the soil or from symbiotic bacteria attached to their roots. Animals obtain nitrogen from the food they eat.
Yes. Plants and animals use nitrogen to form enzymes, proteins, and nucleic acids.
gives then energy
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.
through roots from the soil
Nitrifying bacteria can convert atmospheric nitrogen in to nitrates that plants can use in the soil. That is why leguminous plants having these micro-organisms in the nodules enrich the soil for nitrogen deficiency.
Yes. Nitrogen is converted to ammonia by organisms called diozotrophs, which the plants can use It also occurs naturally as a result of lightning strikes and combustion.
The atmospheric nitrogen. This is a diatomic and triple bonded form of nitrogen that can not be metabolized by organisms other than some bacteria which convert it into usable form for plants.
nitrogen
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)?
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.
YES!
Many compounds in plants include Nitrogen including Proteins and DNA. Note, most plants can not use atmospheric Nitrogen (N2), and must absorb nitrogen that is bonded to hydrogen or carbon such as Ammonia (NH3).
The use of nitrogen and other fertilizers will enhance the growth of most plants when used correctly.
through roots from the soil
Most plants use single nitrogen atoms, not N2 molecules.
Nitrifying bacteria can convert atmospheric nitrogen in to nitrates that plants can use in the soil. That is why leguminous plants having these micro-organisms in the nodules enrich the soil for nitrogen deficiency.
Industrial fixation is a synthetic method of converting atmospheric nitrogen to nitrogen oxides or ammonium ions that plants and other organisms are able to use
Nitrates and Nitrites are used by some bacteria for energy and plants use them for protien synthesis. (for most other organisms these chemicals tend to be detrimental) Most animals do not use or need nitrate, they need nitrogen which is supplied by ingestion of plant products or animals.
Yes. Nitrogen is converted to ammonia by organisms called diozotrophs, which the plants can use It also occurs naturally as a result of lightning strikes and combustion.
