Plants transfer nitrogen in the nitrogen cycle through assimilation.
Most plants get nitrogen from fertilizers. Some plants can have a process called nitrogen fixing in which nitrogen from the is turned into ammonium compounds. Animals get their nitrogen from food, by eating plants and other animals.
some plants have bacteria in their roots which contain nitrogen when plants want nitrogen they exchange their food made them with nitrogen. Example: pea plants contain bacteria called rhizobium which contains nitrogen
when animals eat plants,they get nitrogen compounds that their bodies need.plants do not make these nitrogen compounds. so from where do plants get their nitrogen compounds/ from the air
In rainforests where there is loads of leeching, plants get their nitrogen from other dead plants, where a nitrogen cycle is established
Plants that lack nitrogen will experience effects that include stunted growth, yellow leaves, and small blooms the die quickly on flowering plants. To counteract these problems, the soil should be amended with a water-soluble fertilizer high in nitrogen.
Protien and calcium absorbed from food and nitrogen absorbed from plants and the air.
It goes back into the soil.
A number microbes in the soil, water and air transform these nitrogen compounds

The short and sweet answer is that, in many ways, Nitrogen functions in plants in a similar fashion as Iron does in animals. Without Iron, animals become anemic. Without Nitrogen plants become anemic. Nitrogen is a component of many plant chemicals including cellulous, protein, chlorophyll, and some gums. If you want a plant to grow and green-up, it needs Nitrogen in some form. It is usually the most needed element when fertilizing plants for two reasons. 1) It is about the most easily leached element in the soil. Any added water causes the free Nitrogen to flow away. 2) Calcium from stucco, or cement leaches easily into the soil, and Calcium competes for the same absorption sites on the roots, as Nitrogen. So plants near stucco or sidewalks are often Nitrogen starved and often need even more added Nitrogen in the soil than the same plants some distance from stucco, bricks, sidewalks and foundations.
