Which part of the plant uses nitrogen and what for?
The roots extract nitrogen from the soil.
Does soil contain nitrogen?
Yes, soil does contain nitrogen.
Why are leguminous plants rich in protein?
Leguminous plants have nodules on their roots containing bacteria which can fix nitrogen contained in the air in the soil. This nitrogen becomes available to the plant, which uses the nitrogen as an essential part of the proteins of its cells. Other types of plant cannot do this, and have available only the nitrate which is already present in the water in the soil.

How can someone increase the nitrogen in the soil?
Lightning increases nitrogen in the soil
What does not increase the amount of nitrogen in the soil?
It doesn't. Harvesting removes soil nitrogen
Nitrogen in the soil is used by what?
nitrogen in the soil is used by both plants and animals.
What are the different ways by nitrogen in the air reaches the soil?
Nitrogen can enter the soil from plants such as legumes which fix nitrogen in their roots. Also dead plants and animals add nitrogen into the soil.
How nitrogen in soil is detected?
All soil contains nitrogen - it is a matter of how much. The relative amount of nitrogen in soil can be determined with as small soil sample and a reagent for nitrogen from a soil test kit (simple soil test kits are sold in every garden center). The results do not tell you the "amount" of nitrogen in the soil, only if there is enough for healthy plant growth, or if the amount of nitrogen is too poor for healthy plant growth
Changing nitrogen gas to nitrogen in the soil?
with a nitrogen tank
How does harvesting increase the amount of nitrogen in soil?
it doesn't, it only removes soil nitrogen
What is the transfer of nitrogen from air to soil to organism and back to air and soil?
nitrogen cycle
What is the transfer of nitrogen from air to soil to organism and back to air or soil?
