what process must happen to gaseous nitrogen plants can use it to grow?
Fixation
Can nitrogen gas be used by plants?
No. Plants cannot use elemental nitrogen. The nitrogen must first be fixed, either by lightning or by nitrogen-fixing bacteria. Some plants have such bacteria in their roots.
What form must nitrogen take before plants and animals can use it?
through roots from the soil
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.
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.
What must happen to nitrogen before plants and animal can use it?
Nitrogen must be in the compound form before it is used by plants or animals
What plants must happen to gaseous nitrogen before plants can use it to grow?
Fixation

Fixation
What must happen for plants to use nitrogen in the atmosphere?
Fixation
How is nitrogen fixation helpful to crops?
Because elemental nitrogen is unusable by plants. It must be converted in the soil to a usable form and adsorbed by soil particles for plants to be able to utilize it.
Why must carnivorous plants rely on insects for their source of nitrogen?
Carnivorous plants must rely on insects for nitrogen since they are found in soils with low nitrogen levels. Since the soil can't provide them with enough nitrogen, they must consume insects to meet their nitrogen requirements.
Can nitrogen gas be used by plants?
No. Plants cannot use elemental nitrogen. The nitrogen must first be fixed, either by lightning or by nitrogen-fixing bacteria. Some plants have such bacteria in their roots.
What must happen before humans can use nitrogen?
For humans to be able to use nitrogen it must be converted from N2 (g) to ammonium (NH4^+), nitrate (NO3^-), or organic nitrogen. Nitrogen is the majority of the air we breath but it is relatively inert due to the triple bond between N atoms.
Plants use nitrogen to make?
Many compounds in plants include Nitrogen including Proteins and DNA. Note, most plants can not use atmospheric Nitrogen (N2), and must absorb nitrogen that is bonded to hydrogen or carbon such as Ammonia (NH3).
Nitrogen in the atmosphere must be fixed before it can be used by plants. Atmospheric nitrogen is fixed by?
bacteria and lighntning
What form must nitrogen take before plants and animals can use it?
through roots from the soil
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.
