How do plants transfer nitrogen in the nitrogen cycle?
Plants transfer nitrogen in the nitrogen cycle through assimilation.
Do plants take in nitrogen directly from the atmosphere?
Plants that can use nitrogen from the atmosphere are known as nitrogen fixers. The legume or pea family of plants are famous for being able to do this.Most plants don't have this ability.
Why is nitrogen gas in the atmosphere useless to plants?
Nitrogen gas cannot be absorbed by plants
Can animals use nitrogen directly from the atmosphere?
no plants and animals cannot use nitrogen straight out of the air every time we take a breath you breath it in but it goes through nitrogen fixation to let us humans animals and plants to use it.
How do plants and animals get nitrogen is not from the atmosphere?
In rainforests where there is loads of leeching, plants get their nitrogen from other dead plants, where a nitrogen cycle is established
Why plants and animals unable to absorb nitrogen directly for atmosphere?
Nitrogen is not very reactive
How do plants transfer nitrogen in the nitrogen cycle?
Plants transfer nitrogen in the nitrogen cycle through assimilation.
When there is not enough nitrogen in the atmosphere for plants how do the plants get it?
Plants do not actually get their nitrogen from the atmosphere. They get it in compounds in the soil through their roots. Some plants form symbiotic relationships with bacteria in the soil. The bacteria draw nitrogen from the air and form nitrogen compounds. The plants can then use the nitrogen.

Gas given off by plants that is needed by animals?
:v
How do plants obtain the nitrogen they need?
Some plants are leguminous and have root nodules by which they are able to directly absorb the nitrogen from the atmosphere. If the are not leguminous, they get the nitrogen from the soils via their roots. For the same purpose of supplying nitrogen to the plants, farmers also add nitrogenous fertilizers to the soil which provides sufficient amount of nitrogen to the plants

Do animals take in nitrogen directly from the atmosphere?
Since 78.08% of the Earth's atmosphere is composed of nitrogen, yes. But it cannot be used in biological processes. The nitrogen animals use comes in the form of nitrogen compounds acquired from food. Ultimately, the nitrogen used by most living things is produced by nitrogen-fixing bacteria which do use nitrogen from the atmosphere, these compounds are then taken in and used by plants.
Does plants take in nitrogen directly from air?
NO. Nitrogen is a required nutrient for plants but it is obtained from ammonia or nitrates used as fertilizers. Some plants can "fix" (convert nitrogen in the air to an usable form) with the assistance of microorganisms living at the roots.
What plants absorb nitrogen from the atmosphere?
Cannabis
