What process involves the capture and conversion of nitrogen into a form usable by plants?
Nitrifying bacteria can convert atmospheric nitrogen in to nitrates that plants can use in the soil. That is why leguminous plants having these micro-organisms in the nodules enrich the soil for nitrogen deficiency.
what process must happen to gaseous nitrogen plants can use it to grow?
Fixation
Bacteria return nitrogen to the soil by which process?
The role of bacteria in the Nitrogen Cycle is to perform biological nitrogen fixation. This process is an important part of the Nitrogen Cycle because it converts oxygen into ammonia that plants are then able to use.
Does bacteria convert nitrogen from the air into a form plants can use?
Nitrogen-Fixing bacteria. aka Rhizobium
How does nitrogen from the air get into the bodies of plants and animals?
When the animals breathe in nitrogen it goes into their bodies so when they die and decompose the nitrogen they breathed in is now in the soil and also when they fertilize on the land.
If nitrogen in the atmosphere is not a form plants can use how do they get nitrogen what is this process called?
they get threw their roots and it is called nitrogen fixation

What process effectively makes nitrogen unavailable for plant use?
The reduction of nitrate to gaseous nitrogen. Most plants cannot use atmospheric(gaseous) nitrogen. It must be "fixed" by bacteria in the ground. Plants use nitrogen in the forms of ammonia(NH4+) and nitrate ions(NO3-). source: http://ohioline.osu.edu/aex-fact/0463.html
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.
How is notrogen fixation a necessary part of the nitrogen cycle?
Plants use nitrogen a N- and air has N2. Nitrogen fixation changes nitrogen into a form that plants can use.
How does nitrogen fixation help plants?
Because it converts nitrogen into a form plants can use.
What is the relationship between bacteria and plants?
Plants need nitrogen to grow. They are surrounded by nitrogen in the air, but it is not in a form the plants can use. Nitrogen fixing bacteria on the roots of the plant convert (fix) the airborne nitrogen to a form the plants can use to grow.
