Where are nitrogen found?
The nitrogen bacteria called RHIZOBIUM is found in the root nodules of leguminous plants.They are symbiotic.
How are root nodules useful for the plants?
The root nodules of leguminous plants like gram,pulses,etc. contain nitrogen-fixing bacteria,rhizobia, which help in fixing nitrogen in the soil for the plants to absorb.Nitrogen is essential for the growth of plants.
Where are nitrifying bacteria found?
The nitrogen bacteria called RHIZOBIUM is found in the root nodules of leguminous plants.They are symbiotic.
Why legiminous plants have root nodules?
It contains bacteria that fix nitrogen in the soil. This provides this vital element not only for the legume but also other plants in the vicinity
Why can leguminous plant trap nitrogen from the air?
There are symbiotic nitrogen fixing bacteria in the root nodules of leguminous plants. They can fix atmospheric nitrogen into ammonium compound and supply the nitrogenous compounds to the plant.
Why is nitrogenous fertilizer not added in soil in which leguminous plants are grown?
Because leguminous plants are capable of fixing free nitrogen from the air with help of their root nodules. Thus soil get rich in nitrates in those places where these plants are grown.
What type of plants have root nodules?
Root nodules are swollen structures present present in roots of leguminous plant which belong to family Fabaceae e.g. Pisum sativum , Medicago , Arachis . This family is the second largest family of Dicots and second most important family from economic point of view.These root nodules are formed by Bacteria named Rhizobium. These Bacteria are nitrogen fixing bacteria i.e. they trap N2 from air and convert it into NO3 which is used as fertilizer by plants. There is symbiotic relation between legume roots and N2 fixing Bacteria .They increase soil fertility .
How do root nodules form?
Leguminous plants like pea and soya bean have the nitrogen fixing bacteria Rhizobium in their root nodules. The nitrogen fixed by this bacteria are taken up by herbivores which eat the palnts and then to carnivores which eat herbivores.
Where are nitrogen fixing bacteria found on plants?
The root nodules. they fix the bacteria in the soil so it's the most sensible place!
Nitrogen fixing bacteria live symbiotically in what?
they live in the roots of beans and peanuts- jeff chandler
Where do most Nitrogen Fixation bacteria live?
Legumes have nirtifying bacteria in their roots, but mostly they are found in the soil.
What converts nitrogen from a form that can be assimilated by plants to N2.?
it is bacteria and lightening or decomposers, not sure. I am doing the same biology homework crap that Ms. elliot signed to all the students over break. i am looking for the same answer i think decomposers is the answer. its the one that makes most sense. :D
