What is the process by which bacteria takes nitrogen from the air and form nitrogen compounds?
Nitrification, an important step in the nitrogen cycle.
Is it true although 78 percent of air is nitrogen plants cannot use this form well?
Yes, plants require nitrogen in a form that is biologically available, such as ammonia or nitrate, as they cannot directly utilize atmospheric nitrogen. Certain nitrogen-fixing bacteria assist in converting atmospheric nitrogen into a usable form for plants through a process called nitrogen fixation.
What can form compounds from nitrogen in the air?
Nitrogen in the air can form compounds with other elements, such as oxygen (to form nitrogen oxides), hydrogen (to form ammonia), and carbon (to form cyanide). These compounds play important roles in various chemical reactions and processes in the environment.
Why can't animals use nitrogen in the air?
Because the nitrogen in the air is in a form not usable to animals and plants. The only way animals get nitrogen to build protein and nucleic acid is by eating it. This is usually through plants, which get there nitrogen from the soil. They get it from the soil cuz bacteria in the soil turn the atmospheric nitrogen into a usable form. In a water ecosystem cyanobacteria a.k.a. blue-green algae transform the nitrogen from the atmosphere into usable forms of nitrate
Type of bacteria that consume nitrogen in the air and change it into a form plants can use?
nitrogen fission
What roles legumes play in the nitrogen cycle?
They absorb nitrogen from the air. Then nitrogen-fixing bacteria convert it to a useable form.
What can convert nitrogen in the air into a form plants can use?
Nitrogen fixing bacteria along and on the roots of plants converts gaseous nitrogen into a form that plants can absorb.
What converts nitrogen into air plants can use?
Nitrogen-fixing bacteria convert nitrogen gas from the air into a form that plants can use, called ammonia. These bacteria form symbiotic relationships with certain plants, such as legumes, providing them with a source of nitrogen for growth and development.
What forms does nitrogen appear in the air?
Nitrogen appears in the air primarily as diatomic nitrogen molecules (N2), which make up about 78% of the Earth's atmosphere. Nitrogen gas makes up a significant portion of the air we breathe and plays a crucial role in various biological and chemical processes.
What is a peocess by which bacteria remove nitrogen from the air and make it avaliable to plants-?
Nitrogen fixation is the process by which bacteria remove nitrogen from the air and make it available to plants.
Which converts nitrogen from air into a form plants use?
mycorrhizae
What are nitrogen fixing cells?
Cells that take nitrogen in the air and make to a form that plants can take in from the soil.
