What is the important gas in nitrogen?
Nitrogen is a pure gas and so is the important one.
What organisms can change nitrogen gas into ammonia?
These enzymes are called nitrogenases.
Why is it difficult to integrate nitrogen gas from the atmosphere into the nitrogen cycle of the biosphere?
Few organisms can directly utilize atmospheric nitrogen gas.
What gas cannot be used directly your most organisms?
Nitrogen
Is nitrogen the most important gas in greenhouse gases?
No, carbon dioxide is the most important greenhouse gas, not nitrogen.
Do most organisms use nitrogen directly form air?
Since the air around you is about 78% nitrogen gas, you might think it would be easy for organisms to retrieve nitrogen easily. However, most organisms cannot use nitrogen gas. Nitrogen gas is called "free" nitrogen because it's not combined with other atoms. Most organisms can use nitrogen only when it has been combined with other elements to form nitrogen-containing compounds. So, is that the answer you were looking for (possibly for homework)?
How is bacteria convert nitrogen gas in the air into ammonia?
Rhizobium Bacillus is the bacteria that converts nitrogen gas in the air into ammonia. It plays an important role the nitrogen cycle by fixing nitrogen which is otherwise an inert gas.
What organisms can help plants take up nitrogen from the air?
Any nitrogen-fixing bacteria adds nitrogen to the soil for plants. More than 90 percent of all nitrogen fixation is effected by these organisms and they play an important role in the nitrogen cycle. There are a few plants that love nitrogen gas. They are able to draw the nitrogen gas from the air and store it in their roots. These are called nitrogen fixing plants. But they need help from the bacteria mentioned above. They do release a little nitrogen to the soil and when they die, they add more. The group of plants that do this are the legumes (peas and beans).
Why do animals not obtain nitrogen from the air?
Nitrogen gas is fairly inert and so is difficult for organisms to process. Instead, animals must get usable nitrogen compounds from their food.
What do nitrogen fixing bacteria use to split molecules of nitrogen gas and combine the nitrogen atoms with hydrogen?
Nitrogenase enzyme is used by nitrogen fixing bacteria to split molecules of nitrogen gas and combine the nitrogen atoms with hydrogen.Nitrogenase is the enzyme used by some organisms to fix atmospheric nitrogen gas (N2). It is the only known family of enzymes which accomplishes this process
What are two important inorganic compounds involved in the nitrogen cycle?
Nitrogen gas and nitrate ions.
Where do bacteria fix nitrogen gas?
Bacteria fix nitrogen by taking the nitrogen in the air and turning it into a type of nitrogen that can be used by other organisms. This usually occurs in the form of ammonium.
