In what form do plants absorb nitrogen?
Nitrogen is needed for all life forms, including plants. Plants absorb nitrogen from soil through their roots in the form of nitrate and ammonia.
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 is the proccess in which nitrogen is converted into a form plants can use?
nitrogen fixation
What form must nitrogen take before plants and animals can use it?
through roots from the soil
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.
Which element found in the soil is used by plants in the form of chemical compounds?
Nitrogen is needed by plants and they get it from the soil in compounds that contain the nitrogen.
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.
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.
In what form do plants absorb nitrogen?
Nitrogen is needed for all life forms, including plants. Plants absorb nitrogen from soil through their roots in the form of nitrate and ammonia.
How does nitrogen fixation help plants?
Because it converts nitrogen into a form plants can use.
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.
Why is nitrogen important in healthy soil?
Plants use nitrogen in the form of nitrates. Nitrogen is essential in a healthy soil because plants use it in the form of an important nutrient.
What changes nitrogen into a form that can be used by plants?
Nitrogen-fixing bacteria
What is the proccess in which nitrogen is converted into a form plants can use?
nitrogen fixation
Is there a solid form of nitrogen?
Nitrogen can be obtained as a solid at very low temperature, under -210 0C.
Can plants absorb nitrogen compounds from soil on their own?
Yes. Vascular plants can absorb nitrogen compounds such as nitrates from the soil on their own.What plants can't do on their own is fix nitrogen from the air into nitrogen compounds. Some plants including legumes (such as peas, beans, lupins) and casuarinas form symbioses with nitrogen-fixing bacteria to form nitrogen into nitrogen compounds.
What form must nitrogen take before plants and animals can use it?
through roots from the soil
