If Bacteria live in the nodules of plant roots Which cycle depends on the bacteria in these nodules?
Nitrogen cycle
Where are nitrogen fixing bacteria found on plants?
The root nodules. they fix the bacteria in the soil so it's the most sensible place!
Where are nitrifying bacteria found?
The nitrogen bacteria called RHIZOBIUM is found in the root nodules of leguminous plants.They are symbiotic.
What part of the digestive tract has the most lymph nodules and bacteria?
it is the colon and duodenum
What kind of plants host bacteria nodules that fix free nitrogen?
Rhizobia bacteria are primarily responsible for pulling nitrogen out of the air and making it available to plants, which then use the nitrogen to create proteins. The legume family (the pea & bean family) of plants are able to form a mutually beneficial relationship with rhizobia bacteria.
If Bacteria live in the nodules of plant roots Which cycle depends on the bacteria in these nodules?
Nitrogen cycle
Which part of a plant serves as home for nitrogen fixing bacteria?
Nodules
What is the relationship between the plant and bacteria in root nodules?
The nodules contain bacteria which can convert atmospheric nitrogen into ammonia
Are there any root nodules harbor in nitrogen fixing bacteria?
yes,there are root nodules
What type of plants have root nodules?
Root nodules are swollen structures present present in roots of leguminous plant which belong to family Fabaceae e.g. Pisum sativum , Medicago , Arachis . This family is the second largest family of Dicots and second most important family from economic point of view.These root nodules are formed by Bacteria named Rhizobium. These Bacteria are nitrogen fixing bacteria i.e. they trap N2 from air and convert it into NO3 which is used as fertilizer by plants. There is symbiotic relation between legume roots and N2 fixing Bacteria .They increase soil fertility .
What is converted into usable form by bacteria in the root nodules of legumes?
nitrogen-fixing bacteria
Which statement best describes the process that takes place in these nodules?
The correct answer is... Bacteria in the plant nodules convert nitrogen from the soil into molecules the plant can use.
Bacteria in root nodules change nitrogen gas into what form?
ammonia
Where on liguminous plants are nitrogen fixing bacteria found?
In nodules on the roots.
Which part a plant serves as a home for nitrogen-fixing bacteria?
nodules
Bacteria in root nodules change nitrogen gas in what form?
ammonia
In the nitrogen cycle bacteria that live on the roots of plants?
change nitrogen gas into ammonia
