What process involves the capture and conversion of nitrogen into a form usable by plants?
Nitrifying bacteria can convert atmospheric nitrogen in to nitrates that plants can use in the soil. That is why leguminous plants having these micro-organisms in the nodules enrich the soil for nitrogen deficiency.
What do nitrogen fixing bacteria convert in the nitrogen cycle?
Nitrogen fixing bacteria are anaerobic bacteria present in the soil or in some plant roots that change nitrogen gas from the atmosphere into solid nitrogen compounds (e.g. ammonium salts) that plants can use in the soil.Nitrogen fixing bacteria that are symbiotic with plants use sugars supplied by the plant they live in to provide the metabolic energy to carry out this process.
What is the process of creating nitrogen gas from nitrogen compound?
nitrogen-fixing bacteria
Process in which bacteria convert nitrates into nitrogen gas and releases it in to the atmosphere?
Converting nitrogen from a gas to a usable form by bacteria? It is either archaebacteria or eubacteria. I'm stuck on this exact question. My guess is archaebacteria since it is the most ancient bacteria. All forms of life use nitrogen and the beginning of life goes way back AARON T that's me
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.
By what process is nitrogen returned to the atmosphere by bacteria?
The process is called denitrification.
How does nitrogen get from organisms back into the atmosphere?
Nitrogen used by plants and animals is returned to the atmosphere by the action of bacteria. Bacteria break down proteins to obtain energy, releasing nitrogen back into the air in the process.
What would happen if the bacteria that cause denitrification were removed from the nitrogen cycle?
denitrification is soil bacteria converting nitrates into nitrogen gas, is process releases nitrogen into the atmosphere. If there wasn't any bacteria, there would be no process and therefor the nitrogen wouldn't make it into the atmosphere.
How do you separate nitrogen from soil?
Bacteria in the soil called nitrogen-fixing bacteria go through a process called nitrogen-fixation which allows nitrogen to enter the atmosphere
What releases nitrogen into the atmosphere?
Denitrification which is the process of nitrofen returning to the atmosphere which also involes denitrifying bacteria( convert nitrate back into nitrogen gas)
What is the role of microorganisms in returning nitrogen or carbon dioxide to the atmosphere?
this microorganisms is called denitrifying bacteria, it helps to decompose the nutrients (nitrogen) back to the atmosphere. and the process of returning nitrogen or carbon dioxide to the atmosphere is called denitrification.
How is nitrogen returned to the atmosphere?
Nitrogen return to the atmosphere by the process of Denitrification. Denitrification is the reduction of nitrates back into the largely inert nitrogen gas (N2), completing the nitrogen cycle. This process is performed by bacterial species such asPseudomonas and Clostridium in anaerobic conditions. They use the nitrate as an electron acceptor in the place of oxygen during respiration. These facultatively anaerobic bacteria can also live in aerobic conditions.
What process involves the capture and conversion of nitrogen into a form usable by plants?
Nitrifying bacteria can convert atmospheric nitrogen in to nitrates that plants can use in the soil. That is why leguminous plants having these micro-organisms in the nodules enrich the soil for nitrogen deficiency.
How is nitrogen from the atmosphere brought into the ground?
Nitrogen in the atmosphere is converted into nitrogen in the soil by a process called nitrogen fixation, which is carried out by a number of different types of bacteria. Some of these bacteria grow on the roots of certain plants, such as clover, alfalfa, and peanuts, and provide nitrogen to the plant and the soil. ----------------------------------------- Lightning also causes some atmospheric nitrogen to be converted into oxides of nitrogen. These dissolve in rain water and are brought to the ground in the rain.

What is a nitrogen-fixing?
nitrogen fixing is a process in which atmosphere nitrogen converted into ammonia.
What is a nitrogen fixing?
