Root nodules contain nitrogen fixing bacteria which help a plant to obtain nitrogen compounds, which are needed for the production of protein (and although plants do not contain as much protein as animals do, they still need a certain amount of it).

What is the relationship between the plant and bacteria in root nodules?
The nodules contain bacteria which can convert atmospheric nitrogen into ammonia
What type of plants have root nodules?
Root nodules are swollen structures present present in roots of leguminous plant which belong to family Fabaceae e.g. Pisum sativum , Medicago , Arachis . This family is the second largest family of Dicots and second most important family from economic point of view.These root nodules are formed by Bacteria named Rhizobium. These Bacteria are nitrogen fixing bacteria i.e. they trap N2 from air and convert it into NO3 which is used as fertilizer by plants. There is symbiotic relation between legume roots and N2 fixing Bacteria .They increase soil fertility .
How do root nodules form?
Leguminous plants like pea and soya bean have the nitrogen fixing bacteria Rhizobium in their root nodules. The nitrogen fixed by this bacteria are taken up by herbivores which eat the palnts and then to carnivores which eat herbivores.
Where do most Nitrogen Fixation bacteria live?
Legumes have nirtifying bacteria in their roots, but mostly they are found in the soil.
Bacteria in root nodules change nitrogen gas into what form?
ammonia
Why roots of pulse plant have root nodules?
ewte
What is the relationship between the plant and bacteria in root nodules?
The nodules contain bacteria which can convert atmospheric nitrogen into ammonia
What is a plant swelling?
Plant parts are swollen in many cases due to storage of food. In some aquatic plants, some plant parts like leaf petiole are swollen due to air chambers so that these plants can float in water.
Are there any root nodules harbor in nitrogen fixing bacteria?
yes,there are root nodules
Root nodules are associations between bacteria and plant roots responsible for?
nitrogen fixation, like legumes
What cause root nodules in legume plants?
This is the rounded or elongated growth of plant tissue which grows generally on the root hairs of the leguminous plant. Rizophores is an example of this type of growth. Thy generally help in Fixation of nitrogen to the surrounding soils where they grow.
How pull out a gram or bean plant from the field observe its roots. you will find round structures called root nodules on the roots. draw a diagram of the root and show the root nodules?
This is not a homework question that can be copied from this website. We are a question and answer site, not a drawing and diagramming site.
What plant structure does a plant use to obtain water?
Root hair

How are root nodules useful for the plants?
The root nodules of leguminous plants like gram,pulses,etc. contain nitrogen-fixing bacteria,rhizobia, which help in fixing nitrogen in the soil for the plants to absorb.Nitrogen is essential for the growth of plants.
How does the root of a young plant help it grow?
i think that the root sucks up moisture in the soil to help the plant grow.
What plant family restores nitrogen to the soil?
Legumes are the plant family that restores nitrogen to the soil. Most of legumes have symbiotic nitrogen-fixing bacteria in structures called root nodules.
