How is nitrogen stored in biosphere?
nitrogen fixing bacteria
What is the source of nitrogen for animals?
Animals get nitrogen from plants.
Is nitrogen from amino acid breakdown stored in the liver?
Access aminp acids cannot be stored and is either broken down into nitrogen of converted to storable fats and carbohydrates by the liver. Nitrogen is highly toxic and is excreted in the urine, not stored in the liver.
Can humans get the nitrogen they need to exist in the air?
Plants and animals die and decomposers break down their nitrogen containing molecules to ammonia. All animals get the nitrogen they need by eating plants, by eating other animals that ate plants, or by eating animals that ate animals that ate plants.
How do plants get nitrogen compared to how animals get nitrogen?
Most plants get nitrogen from fertilizers. Some plants can have a process called nitrogen fixing in which nitrogen from the is turned into ammonium compounds. Animals get their nitrogen from food, by eating plants and other animals.
When do animals lose nitrogen?
Animals will lose nitrogen when they die. This is whey decay and nitrogen is released as ammonia into the air.
The main purpose of DNA is to store information. Where is information stored within a DNA molecule?
It is stored within the sequence of nitrogen bases.
How do animals get their nitrogen they need?
well, herbivores eat plants (which have nitrogen in them due to help from nitrogen fixating bacteria) then other animals eat herbivores. Since animals are heterotrophs they have to get their nutrients from other organisms.
What is the stored energy that all animals use?
glucose is the stored energy in animals
How is Nitrogen stored in the biosphere?
The largest store of nitrogen is atmosphere, where it exists as nitrogen gas. Other major stores of nitrogen includes oceans and organic matter in soil.
How do animals like the deer pictured contribute to the nitrogen cycle?
Animals such as deer eat plants that contain nitrogen. The nitrogen helps the animals build and repair cells. When that animal dies, the nitrogen is released back into the atmosphere.
