What is the term for the biological process whereby atmospheric nitrogen is changed into a form usable by plants?
Nitrogen fixation.
What is the term for the biological process whereby atmospheric nitrogen is changed into a form of usable by plants?
Nitrogen is absorbed in plants with the help of specific bacteria.
What does it mean to have nitrogen fixed?
Nitrogen fixation is the conversion of atmospheric nitrogen, N2, into some biological form, such as ammonia, NH3, or nitrogen dioxide, NO2. In nature, this process is most often completed by nitrogen-fixing bacteria or diazotrophs. Nitrogen fixation is important because only fixed nitrogen can be used for basic biological substances such as proteins and nucleic acids.
what is the conversion of atmospheric nitrogen into ammonia is a process?
diazotrophs.
What do the denitrifying do during the denitrifying process?
Moves into the Atmospheric Nitrogen
How does atmospheric nitrogen fixation affect organisms?
Atmospheric nitrogen fixation is the process where nitrogen is converted into ammonia. Without nitrogen, organisms couldn't grow, and organisms need nitrogen more than anything to grow.
Which process describes nitrogen fixation?
Bacteria combines with hydrogen to make ammonia, which is changed and turned into compounds such as nitrate or nitrogeNitrogen fixation is the natural process, either biological or abiotic, by which nitrogen (N2) in the atmosphere is converted into ammonia (NH3).
What do the denitrifying bacteria do during the denitrifying process?
Moves into the Atmospheric Nitrogen
The conversion of nitrates into atmospheric nitrogen is facilitated by microbes in a process called?
Denitrification
Which organisms captures atmospheric nitrogen for the process of nitrogen fixation?
Legumes. They are the primary plant in an ecosystem, and help convert atmospheric nitrogen in nitrogen in the soil that plants can absorb through their root systems. The process is called nitrogen fixation.The organisms involved in nitrogen fixation are nitrifying bacteria like Azatobacter and Pseudomonas forming root nodules in legumenous plants.
Three processes that fix atmospheric nitrogen?
1) Haber Process (Fertilizing) 2) Lightning 3) Nitrification (Process of nitrogen being fixed in the air by rhyzobium)
What converts organic nitrogen into atmospheric nitrogen?
the slaves have to put it in there stew and then they eat it
