when the nitrogen in air is absorbed in the clouds and rains the nitrogen comes down to the soil with the water. this is absorbed by the roots

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!
What is the process in the nitrogen cycle by which plant roots absorb nitrates?
assimilation
How do vines get water?
Vines are climbing woody-stemmed plants that are part of the grape family. They use their large root systems to absorb water from the soil.
What is the purpose of nitrogen-fixing bacteria?
Although the air is made up of about 70% nitrogen, plants cannot use nitrogen in this N2 form. Nitrogen fixing bacteria change nitrogen into the form of soluble nitrates so that plants can use it. Other bacteria, known as de-nitrifying bacteria, change nitrates back into N2, which completes the nitrogen cycle Updated by: Levi Levitt
Are plants the only ones capable of making protein directly from nitrates?
Yes they are
What role does a animal in a nitrogen cycle?
They eat the plants that absorb the nitrates.
What salts do plants absorb from soil?
Mineral salts. Principally 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.
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.
Which group of chemicals are made with the minerals that plants absorb?
If you are referring to the minerals plants absorb from the soil, the simplest answer is proteins, from the nitrates. Others include nucleic acids, from phosphates.
What do plants absorb through their root systems?
water
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
How root absorb water?
Roots absorb water when you feed plants water and then it helps the plant grow.
Why do plants have a highly branched root system?
To absorb water and nutients from all over the root zone
How would the absence of root hairs affect the plants ability to absorb water and nutrients?
Root hairs help the root absorb more water and nutrients from the soil. The absence of root hairs would reduce the plant's ability to absorb water and nutrients.
Where do beans get their nitrates from?
They absorb them from the soil where they grow.
Do plants absorb their foods through root systems?
yes and sometimes their leaves
