Why do plants use nitrogen?
To make proteins
Plants use nitrogen to make what?
their food and their lives
In what form do plants use nitrogen so they can make protein?
Plants can not absorb atmospheric elemental Nitrogen (N2). The nitrogen must be bound to carbon or hydrogen atoms such as ammonia (NH3), or Urea (NH2)2CO. Nitrogen Fixing Plants such as clover have a symbiotic relationship with bacteria on their root system that convert atmospheric nitrogen (N2) to forms that the plants can use.
Why is ammonia used as a fertilizer?
It contains nitrogen, and nitrogen is a mineral needed by all plants in order to survive. Without nitrogen, plants would have very stunted growth.
How do microorganisms make nitrogen so they can make protein?
Microorganisms convert atmospheric nitrogen gas into a form that plants can absorb and use. This process is called nitrogen fixation and is typically done by bacteria living in soil or in nodules on plant roots. Once plants take in the nitrogen, they can use it to build proteins through a process called protein synthesis.
What is largest source of nitrogen?
Nitrogen is the most abundant element in the Earth's atmosphere. Bacteria in the soil 'fix' the nitrogen gas into compounds which can be taken in by plants; the plants get eaten by animals & they use the nitrogen to make proteins.
How is notrogen fixation a necessary part of the nitrogen cycle?
Plants use nitrogen a N- and air has N2. Nitrogen fixation changes nitrogen into a form that plants can use.
How does nitrogen fixation help plants?
Because it converts nitrogen into a form plants can use.
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.
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.
How do prokaryotes recycle carbon and make nitrogen available to plants?
Prokaryotes recycle carbon and make nitrogen available to plants
What kind of nitrogen do plants use for their growth and development?
Plants primarily use nitrate (NO3-) nitrogen for their growth and development.
