What form must nitrogen take before plants and animals can use it?
through roots from the soil
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
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.
Why is nitrogen fixation nessecary?
Most plants use single nitrogen atoms, not N2 molecules.
What form must nitrogen take before plants and animals can use it?
through roots from the soil
How does nitrogen fixation help plants?
Because it converts nitrogen into a form plants can use.
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 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.
Is it true although 78 percent of air is nitrogen plants cannot use this form well?
It is very close to it, being about 78.09%.
How does fixation help plants?

What elements are most organisms unable to take from the atmosphere?
nitrogen
