Why do bacteria play a role in the nitrogen cycle?
Some bacteria have the ability to "fix" nitrogen, that is they can utilize gaseous (atmospheric) nitrogen to produce organic compounds. (They can all break down compounds to free nitrogen too.)
How is nitrogen found in the atmosphere?
Nitrogen is present in all living organisms, in the form of proteins, nucleic acids and other molecules.It is also present in large quantities in air.Even plants have proteins in them in various forms.Animal wastes contains nitrogen and hence are a great fertilisers for plants.Many plants fix atmospheric nitrogen to absorbable nitrogen compounds.And of course Earth contains a huge amount of nitrogen compounds in it.
Gas makes up 78 percent of your atmosphere but can be used by plants only when transformed by bacteria first?
Nitrogen. The bacterial transformation is needed to break the triple bonds of diatomic atmospheric nitrogen, something plants can't do, so these bacteria fix the nitrogen into a usable form in exchange for plant sugar

What two things can fix nitrogen?
i dk
Three processes that fix atmospheric nitrogen?
1) Haber Process (Fertilizing) 2) Lightning 3) Nitrification (Process of nitrogen being fixed in the air by rhyzobium)
Do pulse crops cannnot fix atmospheric nitrogen with the help of root nodules?
the mechanism how pulse crop fix atmospheric nitrogen.
What has the ability to fix atmospheric nitrogen?
nitrfying bacteria No It's >>>Cyanobacteria
Which organism fix nitrogen in the soil?
bacteria rhizobium fixes atmospheric nitrogen into air which plants can breathe.
Name the microorganisms which can fix atmospheric nitrogen in the soil?
rhizobium, clostridium, rhodospirillum,rhodomicrobium

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 are nitrogen-fixing bacteria important to plants?
nitrogen fixing bacteria fix or attach atmospheric nitrogen in soil or make it easily avialable to the plants as plants need nitrogen as one of their macronutrient element for their growth.
How do legumes contribute to the nitrogen cycle?
They absorb nitrogen from the air. Then nitrogen-fixing bacteria convert it to a useable form.
What is the ISBN of The Nitrogen Fix?

How many pages does The Nitrogen Fix have?
The Nitrogen Fix has 289 pages.
When was The Nitrogen Fix created?
The Nitrogen Fix was created in 1980-09.
