How does ammonia effect the growth of plants?
Ammonia is a source of nitrogen for plants that can digest it. Many plants cannot digest it directly, by which I mean absorb it and use it in making plant tissue and for similar needs, but many cannot. However, there are many microbes in the soil that can turn ammonia into nitrates and similar chemical compounds that plants can absorb and use. If the ammonia is not very dilute, it will kill most things, including any plant. However, many large-scale agriculturalists use ammonia for fertiliser because it is a very cheap source of nitrogen.
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.
Nitrogen-fixing bacteria in soil turns nitrogen gas into?
they turn the nitogen gas into the nitrates and nitrites essential for the soil
What is the function of nitrifying bacteria?
Nitrifying bacteria converts ammonia compounds into nitrites and nitrates while denitrifying converts the nitrates into atmospheric nitrogen gas. It is confusing as at first I thought that the denitrifying bacteria would convert the nitrates into ammonia, but that is wrong. Denitrification is the opposite to nitrogen fixation, not nitrification.
What gas does nitrogen-fixing bacteria soil turn into?
Nitrogen-fixing bacteria in soil convert atmospheric nitrogen (N2) into ammonia (NH3) through a process called nitrogen fixation. This ammonia can then be utilized by plants as a source of nitrogen for growth and development.
How are the process of nitrogen fixation and denitrification different?
nitrification= it is the conversion of ammonia first into nitrites then into nitrates by nitrifying bacteria. dentrification=it is the conversion of nitrites and nitrates into free nitrogen.
Can oil turn to ammonia smell?
No, oil cannot turn into an ammonia smell. Ammonia is a compound formed by nitrogen and hydrogen, while oil is composed of carbon and hydrogen. The presence of ammonia smell could indicate a separate source of ammonia contamination.
What colour would ammonia gas turn universal indicator paper?
Ammonia gas would turn universal indicator paper blue or purple depending on the concentration of ammonia present.
What color does ammonia turn when phenolphthalein is added?
Ammonia will turn pink when phenolphthalein is added, indicating that the solution is basic.
Does the nitrogen in lightning turn grass green?
Yes. Lightning provides the intense energy needed to combine atmospheric nitrogen and oxygen into nitrates. The rain then carries these nitrates down to the earth's surface enriching the soil. Acting as a fertilizer, nitrates in an indirect way helps make the grass green.
What benefit is received by bacteria in the nitrogen cycle?
Bacteria play a key role in converting nitrogen gas from the atmosphere into forms that plants can use, such as ammonia and nitrates, through processes like nitrogen fixation and nitrification. This helps plants to grow and thrive, which in turn provides a food source for the bacteria. Additionally, some bacteria can break down organic matter, releasing nitrogen back into the soil for reuse.
Does Ammonia turns phenolphthalein in to pink?
No, ammonia does not turn phenolphthalein pink. Phenolphthalein is a pH indicator that turns pink in basic solutions, but ammonia is a weak base and typically does not have a strong enough pH to turn phenolphthalein pink.
