What Is produced through decay of organic matter and then these ions are oxygenated into and?
Ammonium; nitrates; nitrites
Why nitrate ions are important in plant leaf cell?
Nitrogen is the basic food of green plants - their "growth hormone" almost. A foliage plant not getting enough nitrogen will be spindly, yellow and sickly. Plentyh of nitrogen - lush green growth. But the N must be balanced with Potassium and Phosphorus for best growth.
Which part of the plant absorbs minerals for photosynthesis?
The roots absorb mineral ions and water and transport them to the leaves. But photosynthesis does not actually use the minerals in making the sugar.
What is absorbed from the soil by the plant roots and carried up to the leaves?
Water is absorbed by the roots of the plant.
What ions must a plant obtainfrom soil in order to make chlorophyll?
Basically Magnesium ions
What happens in lack of nitrate ions in plants?
If a plant doesn't take in nitrates, it will wither and die. Nitrogen is one of the three macronutrients (nutrients needed in relatively large amounts) for any given plant. The other two are phosphorous and potassium. The only way for a plant to absorb nitrogen is through nitrogen-rich compounds, such as the nitrates and nitrites.
Why are nitrates used as sources of the metal ions?
Nitrates are used as sources of metal ions because all metal nitrates are soluble in water. This is very useful for metals such as lead and silver whose compounds are usually insoluble.
Are nitrate ions soluble?
YES!!! All nitrates are soluble.
What effects would you expect on the flame colors if these compounds were chlorides instead of nitrates?
The flame colors would be the same because the metal ions produced the colored flames, not the anion (NO3-).
What Is produced through decay of organic matter and then these ions are oxygenated into and?
Ammonium; nitrates; nitrites
How are Nitrates and Nitrogen different?
Nitrates are the negative ions (NO3-) of nitrate salts in solution and Nitrogen is a diatomic elemental gas (N2), 79% in fresh air, insoluble in water.

What product will you get if you add water in potassium nitrate?
Since all nitrates are soluble in water, you would get a mixture of Potassium ions and Nitrate ions floating around in water.
Which part of the plant absorbs minerals for photosynthesis?
The roots absorb mineral ions and water and transport them to the leaves. But photosynthesis does not actually use the minerals in making the sugar.
How are the remains of a dead plants and animals helpful to producers?
The remains of the dead plant and animals are decomposed by micro-organisms into simple substances which are more easily reabsorbed by plants as their nutrients such as mineral ions and nitrates. If this process did not occur, new plants could not grow.
What is absorbed from the soil by the plant roots and carried up to the leaves?
Water is absorbed by the roots of the plant.
In which form the plant absorbs the nutrients?
ions
