What is the process of changing free nitrogen gas into a usable form of nitrogen?
Converting free nitrogen into a usable form ( a compound) is called nitrogen fixation.
How is bacteria convert nitrogen gas in the air into ammonia?
Rhizobium Bacillus is the bacteria that converts nitrogen gas in the air into ammonia. It plays an important role the nitrogen cycle by fixing nitrogen which is otherwise an inert gas.
What is a nitrogen-fixing bacteria?
Although the air is made up of about 70% nitrogen, plants cannot use nitrogen in this N2 form. Nitrogen fixing bacteria change nitrogen into the form of soluble nitrates so that plants can use it. Other bacteria, known as de-nitrifying bacteria, change nitrates back into N2, which completes the nitrogen cycle Updated by: Levi Levitt
Bacteria in root nodules change nitrogen gas into what form?
ammonia
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.
What is Certain bacteria change free nitrogen gas into a usable form in a process?
Nitrogen Cyclenitrogen fixationnitrogennitrogen fixationNitrogen-fixing bacteria
Where do bacteria fix nitrogen gas?
Bacteria fix nitrogen by taking the nitrogen in the air and turning it into a type of nitrogen that can be used by other organisms. This usually occurs in the form of ammonium.
Process in which bacteria convert nitrates into nitrogen gas and releases it in to the atmosphere?
Converting nitrogen from a gas to a usable form by bacteria? It is either archaebacteria or eubacteria. I'm stuck on this exact question. My guess is archaebacteria since it is the most ancient bacteria. All forms of life use nitrogen and the beginning of life goes way back AARON T that's me

What is the process of changing free nitrogen gas into a usable form of nitrogen called?
nitrogen fixation
Why do plants consume nitrogen?
Nitrogen is considered to be a limiting factor for plants since it cannot be absorbed as a gas. Plants will use ammonia as their main source fro nitrogen.
Gas makes up 78 percent of your atmosphere but can be used by plants only when transformed by bacteria first?
Nitrogen. The bacterial transformation is needed to break the triple bonds of diatomic atmospheric nitrogen, something plants can't do, so these bacteria fix the nitrogen into a usable form in exchange for plant sugar

What organism is responsible for changing nitrogen gas into nitrogen into solid nitrogen compounds?
Chemoautotrophs like Nitrogen fixing bacteria
What is the process of creating nitrogen gas from nitrogen compound?
nitrogen-fixing bacteria
What do you call the conversion of nitrogen gas into nitrogen compounds by bacteria?
Nitrogen fixation.
