Nitrogen is used in the atmosphere by.....
By oxygen,nitrogen and the 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.
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.
Nitrogen is everywhere But somehow, nitrogen has to get from the atmosphere into a form that our body can use.I also think that nitrogen in soil can be used by plants not animals
Yes, lightning can help in nitrogen fixation by splitting nitrogen molecules in the atmosphere, which then combines with oxygen to form nitrogen oxides. These nitrogen oxides are washed out of the atmosphere by rain, allowing them to be used by plants as a nutrient.
98% of Titan's atmosphere is Nitrogen
Nitrogen-fixing bacteria
Nitrogen is returned to the atmosphere through the process of denitrification, where bacteria convert nitrates in the soil back into nitrogen gas. This process completes the nitrogen cycle as nitrogen is released back into the atmosphere as a gas.
The form of nitrogen that is beneficial for the atmosphere is nitrogen gas (N2).
Nitrogen makes up about 80% of the Earth's atmosphere.
Nitrogen accounts for 78% of the atmosphere.
The Earth has an atmosphere of 78% nitrogen (and 21% oxygen).
