How do plants and animals get nitrogen is not from the atmosphere?
In rainforests where there is loads of leeching, plants get their nitrogen from other dead plants, where a nitrogen cycle is established
How the nitrogen cycle help the man and animals?
nitrogen cycle helps man in the balancing of relation between animals and plants and food chain
Who runs the nitrogen cycle?
Plants, Animals, fungi and bacteria.
What organisms are related to the nitrogen cycle?
All animals and plants. The air is 78% nitrogen.
How do plants and animals differ in the ways they obtain nitrogen?
Plants get it from bacteria which live associated with their roots who take atmospheric nitrogen and fixate it (nitrogen cycle). Animals can only get it by ingesting organic compounds which contain nitrogen, such as plants and other animals which have eaten plants.
How will the removal of leguminous plants affect the nitrogen cycle?
it affects the nitrogen cycle as the leguminous plants have nitrogen-fixing bacteria on their roots and these nitrogen-fixing bacteria help to collect nitrogen which is transferred to animals when these leguminous plants have been eaten.
How are carbon and nitrogen recycled in nature?
While carbon cycle is maintained mainly by plants and animals, nitrogen cycle is maintained mainly by nitrifying bacteria and plants.
The way nitrogen moves between the air soil plants and animals is called the?
nitrogen cycle
What two functions of bacteria in the nitrogen cycle?
Bacteria function in the nitrogen cycle as nitrogen fixers and denitrifiers. Nitrogen fixing bacteria take in atrmospheric nitrogen gas and "fix" it into a nitrate or nitrite that can be used by plants. Denitrifiers decompose dead plant tissues and release nitrogen to the atmosphere.
How do plants transfer nitrogen in the nitrogen cycle?
Plants transfer nitrogen in the nitrogen cycle through assimilation.
Describe the path of nitrogen through its biogeochemical cycle?
Nitrogen gas in the soil is used by plants, which are eaten by animals. The waste products of the animals contain the nitrogen. It is broken down by bacteria, which releases nitrogen gas into the atmosphere, and the cycle repeats.
Describe the nitrogen cycle and explain why it is important for the survival?
The nitrogen cycle is how nitrogen moves between plants, animals, bacteria, the atmosphere, and the soil. In each phase, it is in a different form.
