What are the differences between atmospheric nitrogen and laboratory nitrogen?
Chemical nitrogen 1 it is pure as it does not have any inert gases. 2 it is lighter compared to atmospheric nitrogen. 3 it is highly reactive. Atmospheric nitrogen 1 it has 1% inert gases. 2 it is heavier than chemical nitrogen due to the dust particles. 3 it is less reactive because of the inert gases.
What are the natural atmospheric sources of ammonia?
nitrogen
Does the nitrogen cycle have no atmospheric component?
phosphorus cycle is the only one with no atmospheric component.
How atmospheric nitrogen enters the soil?
Typically, atmospheric nitrogen gets into the soil by nitrogen-fixing bacteria that are symbiotic with such plants as clover, soybeans and alfalfa. Bacteria in the plant extract nitrogen from the air, and when the plants die, the nitrogen remains in the soil as the plant decays.
Does nitrogen boil?
Yes. At atmospheric pressure, nitrogen boils at -320 degrees Fahrenheit.
How does atmospheric nitrogen become usable on earth?
Through nitrogen fixation. It becomes this through cyanobacteria or nitrogen fixing bacteria. Helpful critters!
What fixes atmospheric Nitrogen?
oxygen fixes atmospheric nitrogen
What is the need of fixing atmospheric nitrogen find out the various ways by which atmospheric nitrogen is fixed?
Why does atmospheric nitrogen need to be converted?
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.
How do plats get nitrogen they need?
The plant source of Nitrogen is Nitrate. Plants acquire nitrate through the Nitrogen Cycle. Atmospheric Nitrogen is absorbed by Nitrogen-fixing bacteria. The bacteria produce Ammonia which becomes Nitrite. Nitrite becomes Nitrate, the usable form of Nitrogen for plants. Nitrate is assimilated and absorbed by plants. Plants produce amino acids and proteins that are consumed in the food chain. Whatever consumes the proteins and amino acids will eventually die and the decomposition produces ammonia which turns into the atmospheric Nitrogen at the beginning of the cycle.
What fixes nitrogen?
oxygen fixes atmospheric nitrogen
What is the chemical compound of atmospheric nitrogen gas?
Atmospheric nitrogen is an element and is N2. A compound of this would be ammonia NH3
How does atmospheric nitrogen fixation affect organisms?
Atmospheric nitrogen fixation is the process where nitrogen is converted into ammonia. Without nitrogen, organisms couldn't grow, and organisms need nitrogen more than anything to grow.
Why organism need nitrogen?
Nitrogen is the critical component of amino acids, which are the building blocks of protein. Since all organisms need protein for their cellular structure, no organism, that we know of, can exist without some nitrogen. There are different modes of acquiring nitrogen, however. The legumes, such as beans, are plants that can "fix" atmospheric nitrogen into amino acids, and thus do not need to acquire it from other organisms, like we do. There are also some bacteria that are capable of fixing nitrogen.

What captures the atmospheric nitrogen?
atoms
Is atmospheric nitrogen monatomic?
No; it is diatomic.
