Nitrogen is found in plants and animals, though mainly plants as a way to more easily have photosynthesis occur. It is found in the blood of the organisms in which have nitrogen in their bodies.

All living things use nitrogen to?
make proteins.
What four essential elements make up most of living matter?
The four elements that make up most of living matter are hydrogen, oxygen, carbon and nitrogen.
How do humans get nitrogen we need to make proteins and dna if we can't get it from breathing?
Humans and most other living things are unable to use nitrogen from the atmosphere in their metabolism. The only living things able to use nitrogen from the atmosphere in their metabolism are a small number of species of anaerobic nitrogen fixing bacteria. Several species of nitrogen fixing bacteria are symbiotic with legume plants, the bacteria provide the legume with fixed nitrogen, the legume provides the bacteria isolation from the poisonous oxygen in the air as well as carbohydrates as food. Humans as all other animals, get their fixed nitrogen by eating other animals and/or plants.
What organic compounds do plants need nitrogen to make?
glucose/ carbohydrates
Besides carbon name 3 other elements that make up most organic compounds?
Three other elements that make up most organic compounds are: 1. NITROGEN 2. HYDROGEN 3. OXYGEN
What are living things that need nitrogen to make complex nitrogen compounds called?
Living things that need nitrogen to make complex nitrogen compounds are called nitrogen-fixing organisms. These organisms have the ability to convert atmospheric nitrogen gas (N2) into usable forms such as ammonia or nitrates, which can be incorporated into various biological molecules. Examples of nitrogen-fixing organisms include certain bacteria and some plants, such as legumes.
What is the basis for all compounds that make up living things?
Living things are based on compounds of carbon.
What 3 things do nitrogen make?
bugs money clothes There are a lot more than 3 things that contain nitrogen. Nitrogen is a necessary part of protein, which in turn is necessary to all living things on Earth. Nitrogen is also part of ammonia, nitric acid, potassium nitrate, nitroglycerin, and innumerable other compounds.
All living things use nitrogen to?
make proteins.
What are the chemicals a living thing is composed of?
Living things are made of cells which are made of various elements combined in different ratios to make compounds. These chemicals or compounds are made of six basic elements which are carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen, phosphorus, calcium. Carbon is the most essential element.
What does carbon oxygen hydrogen nitrogen make up?
Many things - most living things
How Do You characterize the relationship between organic compounds and living things?
Originally the definition of organic compounds was those chemical compounds that could only be made by living things. However as chemists learned ways to make these compounds the definition was changed to complex carbon compounds.
Why is nitrogen so important to living things?
is important because animals don't us nitrogen and they don't make it
What elements make up living things?
Oxygen, Hydrogen, Nitrogen and Carbon.
What nitrogen compounds can bacteria make?
I have no idea what the answer is.
Where does plants get nitrogen?
when animals eat plants,they get nitrogen compounds that their bodies need.plants do not make these nitrogen compounds. so from where do plants get their nitrogen compounds/ from the air
Do compounds make up non-living things?
Of course! Compounds are simply defined as substances formed by the chemical union of 2 or more different elements, like salt, NaCl. It happens that living things have many compounds made with Carbon, but nonliving things still must be made of compounds too!
