How do plants get the nitrates and minerals they need?
- absorbing nitrates from soil by the roots- for some plants fixing nitrogen with the help of bacteria
Are nitrates needed to produce glucose?
No nitrates are not needed.Mainly CO2 and water is needed
Do you need thunder and lightning to exist?
Thunder is a byproduct of lightning. Lightning creates nitrates which plants require to grow. Other sources of nitrates exist. So lightning assists in helping plants grow.
Explain the role of nitrifying bacteria in making nitrates available to plants?

Plants need bacteria in order to take up and use which element?
Nitrogen. Bacteria can convert or "fix" insoluable Nitrites into soluable Nitrates, which plants can absorb
By what process do nitrates enter the cell?
Nitrates enter the cell through the process of active transport. Nitrates are essential for development of leaves of a plant and are absorbed through root hair cells.

Are Nitrates mineral salts in plants?
yes
Why is having too many nitrates and nitrates in the soil is so bad?
Nitrates are a fertilizer, so when nitrates hit a pond or stream, the plants there could overtake and drain all the oxygen out of all the plants, so the plants will die. The animals living there are also affected, because for example, fish in the water could die if a water hyacinth gets nitrates because the fish in the water will not get any sunlight.
Which micronutrients are need by plants?
The useful mineral nutrients for plants is NITRATES and PHOSPHATES.
What is a plant's role in the nitrogen cycle?
Plants consume nitrogen in the form of Nitrates. Nitrogen gets converted into nitrates by the denitrifying bacteria. These plants absorb nitrogen in the form of nitrates through the groundwater.
What do plants need nitrogen for?
Nitrogen available to plants as Nitrates supplies the wherewithall for plants to produce foliage.
What organism is responsible for converting nitrogen into nitrates?
Bacteria is the the most responsible organism that converts nitrogen into nitrates. Which plants can then use.
Plants use nitrates to form?
Plants use nitrates to make proteins - these are the building blocks of all the plant material and enzymes. or they make 'amino acids' which are then used to make the proteins if you want to be really technical like Sam!
Are nitrates products of decomposition needed and used by plants?
Not exactly. The important product of decomposition is ammonium (NH4+). This is then converted into nitrates and nitrites by nitrifying bacteria, which is then assimilated by the root systems of plants.
How are plants renewable?
by producing new plants (seeds) or dying-producing litter and supplying nitrates for new plants to grow.
Are nitrates needed to produce glucose?
No nitrates are not needed.Mainly CO2 and water is needed
