What is the percentage of nitrogen in the atmosphere?
Nitrogen makes up about 80% of the Earth's atmosphere.
What is the approximate amount of nitrogen in the atmosphere?
composition of dry atmosphere by volume..... 78.09% nitrogen
Which planet's atmosphere is 78 percent nitrogen?
The Earth has an atmosphere of 78% nitrogen (and 21% oxygen).
What is most plentiful gas in the atmosphere?
The atmosphere is about 78% nitrogen. Next is oxygen at around 21%.
How much of the earths atmosphere is made up of nitrogen and oxygen?
The earths atmosphere is made up of 78% nitrogen and 21% oxygen
Where does the nitrogen from atmosphere go before it enters a plant?
The nitrogen goes into the nodules of the plant.
Where does the nitrogen from the atmosphere go before enters a plant?
The nitrogen goes into the nodules of the plant.
Where does nitrogen from atmosphere go before it enters a plant?
The nitrogen goes into the nodules of the plant.
Why is nitrogen important to plant and animals?
because the nitrogen helps the plant grow
Where does nitrogen from the atmosphere go before it enters the plants?
The nitrogen goes into the nodules of the plant.
Why plants and animals unable to absorb nitrogen directly for atmosphere?
Nitrogen is not very reactive
What converts nitrogen in the nitrogen cycle?
okay heres the nitrogen cycle nitrogen from atmosphere it taken in by 1)lightning( its energy causes nitrogen to react with oxygen n rain to the soil) 2)nitrogen- fixing bacteria in nodules ( plant roots which take it directly form the atmosphere ) NITROGEN FROM SOIL to organisms 1)nitrogen fixing bacteria in soil - breakdown of dead plants n animals releases nitrogen to the soil 2)fertilizers - which contain nitrogen compounds eg NPK OR natural fertilizers i,e dead plants n animals release nitrogen , animal urine and faeces release nitrogen as well to the soil 3)nitrogen fixing bacteria in nodules get nitrogen from its compounds in the soil 4)nitrifying bacteria - converts compounds of ammonia into nitrates .. for the plant nodules NITROGEN TO ATMOSPHERE 1) denitrifying bacteria in soil - changes nitrates to nitrogen gas and its released back to the atmosphere
Describe the path of nitrogen from the atmosphere to plant proteins?
Transpiration
Where does an animal's or plant's nitrogen go when it dies?
The nitrogen goes into the soil and then into the atmosphere through denitrification ;)
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.
Do animals take in nitrogen directly from the atmosphere?
Since 78.08% of the Earth's atmosphere is composed of nitrogen, yes. But it cannot be used in biological processes. The nitrogen animals use comes in the form of nitrogen compounds acquired from food. Ultimately, the nitrogen used by most living things is produced by nitrogen-fixing bacteria which do use nitrogen from the atmosphere, these compounds are then taken in and used by plants.
What is the need of nitrogen in atmosphere?
What does it mean to say the "need of nitrogen in the atmosphere"? Needed for who, for what? Nitrogen is in the atmosphere regardless of who needs it.Is the nitrogen gas used for something? Definitely. Certain organisms are able to convert nitrogen gas, N2, in the atmosphere into NH3, ammonia, which is used as a plant nutrient. This is generally called nitrogen fixation.
