What kind of plants host bacteria nodules that fix free nitrogen?
Rhizobia bacteria are primarily responsible for pulling nitrogen out of the air and making it available to plants, which then use the nitrogen to create proteins. The legume family (the pea & bean family) of plants are able to form a mutually beneficial relationship with rhizobia bacteria.
Can lightning be a part of the ecosystem?
Yes. Lightening can fix nitrogen from the atmosphere into the soil, making nitrogen available to the plants and ultimately animals in an ecosystem.
What is a peocess by which bacteria remove nitrogen from the air and make it avaliable to plants-?
Nitrogen fixation is the process by which bacteria remove nitrogen from the air and make it available to plants.
Which bacteria live in soil and fix nitrogen as part of the nitrogen cycle?
Leguminous plants contain symbiotic bacteria called Rhizobia within nodules root systems, producing nitrogen compounds that help the plant to grow and compete with other plants. When the plant dies, the fixed nitrogen is released, making it available to other plants and this helps to fertilise the soil.
What is the role of nitrifying bacteria in making nitrates available to plants?
Nitrgen-fixing bacteria change th form of nitrogen, and a digestable version will be in the soil. The plants then take up nutrients from the soil.
How do you add organic nitrogen?
There are nitrogen fixing plants, such as legumes, that will add nitrogen to the soil naturally. When these plants die, they release nitrogen into the soil, making it available for other plants.

How do prokaryotes recycle carbon and make nitrogen available to plants?
Prokaryotes recycle carbon and make nitrogen available to plants
What do plants need nitrogen for?
Nitrogen available to plants as Nitrates supplies the wherewithall for plants to produce foliage.
What organism is responsible for converting nitrogen into nitrates?
Bacteria is the the most responsible organism that converts nitrogen into nitrates. Which plants can then use.

Nitrogen fixation is the process by which bacteria remove nitrogen from the air and make it available to plants.

Nitrogen is available to plants only in the form of?
nitrate and ammonia
What is the role of nitrifying bacteria in making nitrates available to plants?
Nitrgen-fixing bacteria change th form of nitrogen, and a digestable version will be in the soil. The plants then take up nutrients from the soil.
Why is it important for nitrogen to be recycled in an ecosystem?
Nitrogen is one of the elements present in nitrates which is a mineral that plants need for growth. Nitrogen fixing soil bacteria take the nitrogen from the air and change it into ammonium, and then further changed by nitrifying bacteria into nitrates. these nitrates are then taken up by the plants.
How is nitrogen part of the biosphere?
It's continuously processed in the nitrogen cycle. In broad outline nitrogen in the atmosphere is fixed by bacteria so that it's available to plants making protein. This protein is consumed by animals and plants or returned to the atmosphere as methane. The plant nitrogen is converted to animal protein which is eventually returned to the atmosphere by bacteria.
