- the inorganic forms of nitrogen, nitrate and ammonium, are considered to be the two nitrogen compounds which plants take up through their roots and use for their growth.
- the ability of roots to take up organic nitrogen in the form of amino acids appears to be common among different plant species.
- New research has shown that, apart from amino acids, plants can also take up organic nitrogen in the form of peptides and small proteins.

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.
What happens to the nitrogen compounds that are not absorb by the plants?
A number microbes in the soil, water and air transform these nitrogen compounds
How are plants and nitrogen related?
Plants require nitrogen (compounds) to convert carbs into amino acids (to build proteins)
What do plants do with the nitrogen they take in?
they don't take in nitrogen
What living things make nitrogen compounds?
Nitrogen is found in plants and animals, though mainly plants as a way to more easily have photosynthesis occur. It is found in the blood of the organisms in which have nitrogen in their bodies.
How do most plants take up nitrogen?
plants take in nitrogen compounds through their roots.
How does a plant take in nitrogen?
plants take in nitrogen compounds through their roots.
Where does plants get nitrogen?
when animals eat plants,they get nitrogen compounds that their bodies need.plants do not make these nitrogen compounds. so from where do plants get their nitrogen compounds/ from the air
Can plants absorb nitrogen compounds from soil on their own?
Yes. Vascular plants can absorb nitrogen compounds such as nitrates from the soil on their own.What plants can't do on their own is fix nitrogen from the air into nitrogen compounds. Some plants including legumes (such as peas, beans, lupins) and casuarinas form symbioses with nitrogen-fixing bacteria to form nitrogen into nitrogen compounds.

Which element found in the soil is used by plants in the form of chemical compounds?
Nitrogen is needed by plants and they get it from the soil in compounds that contain the nitrogen.
How do plants and animals differ in the ways they obtain nitrogen?
Plants get it from bacteria which live associated with their roots who take atmospheric nitrogen and fixate it (nitrogen cycle). Animals can only get it by ingesting organic compounds which contain nitrogen, such as plants and other animals which have eaten plants.
Two ways by which plants get nitrogen compounds?
Some essential nitrogen compounds can be absorbed by plants from the soil in which they grow. the nitrogen compounds can be provided to the soil by nitrogen-fixing bacteria living in association with the plants and/or from fertilizers. Some nitrogen compounds can also be input to the soil from lightning strikes that provide activation energy to facilitate the reaction of atmospheric nitrogen to produce absorbable nitrogen compounds that can be carried into soil by rain.
How do plants get nitrogen compared to how animals get nitrogen?
Most plants get nitrogen from fertilizers. Some plants can have a process called nitrogen fixing in which nitrogen from the is turned into ammonium compounds. Animals get their nitrogen from food, by eating plants and other animals.

What uses simple nitrogen compounds to make proteins and other complex compounds?
