What is the relationship between bacteria and plants?

Plants need nitrogen to grow. They are surrounded by nitrogen in the air, but it is not in a form the plants can use. Nitrogen fixing bacteria on the roots of the plant convert (fix) the airborne nitrogen to a form the plants can use to grow.


What lives in the roots of leguminous plants and convert atmospheric nitrogen into plants unable form?

Rhizoobium or nitrogen fixing bacteria lives in the roots of leguminous plants.leguminous plants are not able to use atmospheric nitrogen as sush,so these bacteria convert nitrogen into simpler forms i.e nitrates and nitrits which are easily used up by these plants.


What process involves the capture and conversion of nitrogen into a form usable by plants?

Nitrifying bacteria can convert atmospheric nitrogen in to nitrates that plants can use in the soil. That is why leguminous plants having these micro-organisms in the nodules enrich the soil for nitrogen deficiency.


Plant and animals can not use the nitrogen that makes up?

The atmospheric nitrogen. This is a diatomic and triple bonded form of nitrogen that can not be metabolized by organisms other than some bacteria which convert it into usable form for plants.


What are leguminous plant and how do they increase the fertility of soil?

Peas, beans or peanuts. There is a type of bacteria that can grow on their roots known as nitrogen fixing bacteria. It has the ability to take nitrogen from the air, and convert it to a form of nitrogen fertilizer than plants can use.

Nitrogen fixing bacteria along and on the roots of plants converts gaseous nitrogen into a form that plants can absorb.

Why is rhizobi a helpful bacteria?

Rhizobia are known as nitrogen fixation bacteria. Nitrogen is an essential element for plants and it is plentiful in the atmosphere but in a form that is inaccessible to plants. Rhizobia can convert atmospheric nitrogen into a form that plants can uptake through their roots.

What is a nitrogen-fixing bacteria?

Although the air is made up of about 70% nitrogen, plants cannot use nitrogen in this N2 form. Nitrogen fixing bacteria change nitrogen into the form of soluble nitrates so that plants can use it. Other bacteria, known as de-nitrifying bacteria, change nitrates back into N2, which completes the nitrogen cycle Updated by: Levi Levitt


What type of organism is able to covert free nitrogen from the atmosphere to form that is usable for animals?

Nitrogen fixing bacteria will enable some plants to convert atmospheric oxygen to a form that can be used by plants. The plants are then eaten by animals.


What converts nitrogen from a form that can be assimilated by plants to N2.?

it is bacteria and lightening or decomposers, not sure. I am doing the same biology homework crap that Ms. elliot signed to all the students over break. i am looking for the same answer i think decomposers is the answer. its the one that makes most sense. :D


How do humans use nitrogen?

Humans use nitrogen in the form of proteins. Bacteria found in soil convert atmospheric nitrogen into nitrates that plants use to produce proteins.

Nitrifying bacteria can convert atmospheric nitrogen in to nitrates that plants can use in the soil. That is why leguminous plants having these micro-organisms in the nodules enrich the soil for nitrogen deficiency.


When there is not enough nitrogen in the atmosphere for plants how do the plants get it?

Plants do not actually get their nitrogen from the atmosphere. They get it in compounds in the soil through their roots. Some plants form symbiotic relationships with bacteria in the soil. The bacteria draw nitrogen from the air and form nitrogen compounds. The plants can then use the nitrogen.


Plant and animals can not use the nitrogen that makes up?

The atmospheric nitrogen. This is a diatomic and triple bonded form of nitrogen that can not be metabolized by organisms other than some bacteria which convert it into usable form for plants.
