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 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 do plants use nitrogen for?
For protien
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.
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.
Plants use nitrogen to make?
Many compounds in plants include Nitrogen including Proteins and DNA. Note, most plants can not use atmospheric Nitrogen (N2), and must absorb nitrogen that is bonded to hydrogen or carbon such as Ammonia (NH3).
What is the proccess in which nitrogen is converted into a form plants can use?
nitrogen fixation
Nitrogen in the soil is used by?
Grass and plants use nitrogen to grow.
What does nitrogen fixation accomplish?
It allows plants to use nitrogen to grow.
Can nitrogen gas be used by plants?
No. Plants cannot use elemental nitrogen. The nitrogen must first be fixed, either by lightning or by nitrogen-fixing bacteria. Some plants have such bacteria in their roots.
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.
