What type of plant that has bacteria living with it that can convert to nitrogen?
Legumes (e.g peas and beans). They form symbiotic relationships with Rhizobia bacteria which fix atmospheric nitrogen into nitrates which can be used by the plant.
Why it is important that some bacteria in the soil change nitrogen to nitrates?
Because when nitrogen is converted into nitrates, which is a common fertilizer, it provides nutrients for plant
How do nitrates enter plants?
Nitrogen fixing bacteria make nitrates available for plants to use.
The conversion of nitrates to nitrogen gas by bacteria is called?
Nitrogen Fixation.
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.
What is a plant's role in the nitrogen cycle?
Plants consume nitrogen in the form of Nitrates. Nitrogen gets converted into nitrates by the denitrifying bacteria. These plants absorb nitrogen in the form of nitrates through the groundwater.
What is the purpose of nitrogen-fixing bacteria?
Although the air is made up of about 70% nitrogen, plants cannot use nitrogen in this N2 form. Nitrogen fixing bacteria change nitrogen into the form of soluble nitrates so that plants can use it. Other bacteria, known as de-nitrifying bacteria, change nitrates back into N2, which completes the nitrogen cycle Updated by: Levi Levitt

How do plants get nitrogen from the soil?
Nitrogen-fixing bacteria in nodules on plant roots (legume plants; beans, peas, alfalfa) convert nitrogen in the air (ammonia) to nitrites then nitrates which is then absorbed by plants through their roots.
What is the process in the nitrogen cycle by which plant roots absorb nitrates?
assimilation
Soil is deprived of nitrates what do you plant?
Virtually anything in the Legume(pea and bean) family will produce nitrogen as these form nodules with Rhizobacteria which convert N2 gas to nitrate. You can plant vetch, soybeans, dry bean plants, pea plants, and any other plant that is a Legume. You can also apply Nitrogen fertilizer as well and Nitrates will be made as it ozidizes.
What organisms convert nitrogen into a form that is by humans?
Bacteria Ammonia, nitrates, nitrites
What organisms convert nitrogen into a form that is usable by humans?
Bacteria Ammonia, nitrates, nitrites
What happens in lack of nitrate ions in plants?
If a plant doesn't take in nitrates, it will wither and die. Nitrogen is one of the three macronutrients (nutrients needed in relatively large amounts) for any given plant. The other two are phosphorous and potassium. The only way for a plant to absorb nitrogen is through nitrogen-rich compounds, such as the nitrates and nitrites.
How do humans use nitrogen?
Humans use nitrogen in the form of proteins. Bacteria found in soil convert atmospheric nitrogen into nitrates that plants use to produce proteins.
How do nitrates enter plants?
Nitrogen fixing bacteria make nitrates available for plants to use.
