How do plants get the nitrates and minerals they need?
- absorbing nitrates from soil by the roots- for some plants fixing nitrogen with the help of bacteria
What form do plants take nitrogen from soil?
In the form of nitrates and nitrites of ammonia
Nitrogen-fixing bacteria in soil turns nitrogen gas into?
they turn the nitogen gas into the nitrates and nitrites essential for the soil
Why are nitrogen fixing bacteria important?
Although the air is made up of about 80% 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
How do nitrates enter plants?
Nitrogen fixing bacteria make nitrates available for plants to use.
What organisms are necessary for producing ammonia nitrates and nitrites during the nitrogen cycle?
A type of anaerobic bacteria called nitrogen fixing bacteria.
What is the purpose of 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

Besides the action of nitrogen -fixing bacteria and some blue-green algae how else is nitrogen in the air converted into nitrates?

How do nitrogen fixing bacteria on root nodules function in the nitrogen cycle?
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. Some nitrifying bacteria lives in the roots of legumes, and do the same job.
How do nitrates produced?
in nature nitrogen from the atmosphere is converted to ammonia by nitrifying bacteria ammonia is then converted to nitrite and then to nitrate by nitrogen fixing bacteria. nitrate is converted back to nitrogen by denitrifying bacteria
What are the three types of bacteria involved in nitrogen cycle?
The three types of bacteria which are involved in the nitrogen cycle are nitrogen- fixing bacteria which change the nitrogen gas into ammonia. The next is nitrifying bacteria which changes the ammonia into nitrities and then the nitriites into nitrates. Then the plant absorbs the nitrates and uses them to continue growth. Then an animal may eat the plant receiving the nitrogen from it. But it must eventually get ride of it so it produces waste which goes back into the soil and is broken down by decomposers and fungi, which then turn it back into ammonia. The cycle then repeats itself. Extra nitrates are turned back into nitrogen gas by denitrifying bacteria.
