What is the large reservoir of nitrogen that is unusable by most organisms?
The air is 80% nitrogen but most organisms are able to extract it from the air.
What elements are most organisms unable to take from the atmosphere?
nitrogen
Can most organisms use the free nitrogen in air?
why are you looking this up the answer it is yes because what is nitrogen going to do try to get air and then its is going to be all like sorry nitrogen I'm off limits!
Do humans need nitrogen and oxygen to live?
Humans (and most, and if, not all other organisms) need nitrogen is to produce protein. Oxygen is used up in respiration to help produce energy used by the human (and other organisms, but not plants) body.
How many bonds would nitrogen make?
A nitrogen atom can form three bonds at most as it shows valency of three.
What is the large reservoir of nitrogen that is unusable by most organisms?
The air is 80% nitrogen but most organisms are able to extract it from the air.
In what form most organisms obtain nitrogen?
from amino acids
What is atmospheric nitrogen fixationand how does it affect organisms?
The atmosphere is made up of 70% nitrogen. Nitrogen is also a key ingredient for proteins and nucleic acids such as DNA, and without these, no life could exist. However, the nitrogen in the atmosphere is unusable for most organisms. A few types of microorganisms are capable of fixing nitrogen into a bioavailable form, and that is the process of nitrogen fixation. The fixed nitrogen can then be used by plants to create amino acids, and the amino acids are then consumed by animals.
What elements are most organisms unable to take from the atmosphere?
nitrogen
Do most organisms use nitrogen directly form air?
Since the air around you is about 78% nitrogen gas, you might think it would be easy for organisms to retrieve nitrogen easily. However, most organisms cannot use nitrogen gas. Nitrogen gas is called "free" nitrogen because it's not combined with other atoms. Most organisms can use nitrogen only when it has been combined with other elements to form nitrogen-containing compounds. So, is that the answer you were looking for (possibly for homework)?
Is nitrogen rare?
Nitrogen is definitely not rare: In elemental form, nitrogen makes up most of the natural atmosphere, and, in combined form, it is a major constituent of all organisms, because it is a necessary constituent of all proteins; nitrogen also occurs extensively in nitrate minerals.
What are the most organisms unable to take from the atmosphere?
Nitrogen.
Why is nitrogen a limiting nutrient?
This is because the particular form of nitrogen found in air “nitrogen gas“ cannot be assimilated by most organisms. For example, “Nitrogen nutrients are water-soluble and as a result they are easily drained away”, so that they are no longer available for plants.
Which macromolecule provides the most nitrogen for organisms?
Starch Is A Carbohydrate And Starch Provides Nitrogen For Most Plants. So Carbs Is The Answer But Only For Plants.. I Dont Know About All Organisms.
Which organisms are most critical in the nitrogen cycle?
Bacteria is the organism most critical in the nitrogen cycle. Bacteria in the nitrogen cycle provides different forms of nitrogen compounds used by higher organisms.
Can most organisms can use free nitrogen air?
YES!
What gas cannot be used directly your most organisms?
Nitrogen
