Best Answer

Nitrates and Nitrites are used by some bacteria for energy and plants use them for

protien synthesis. (for most other organisms these chemicals tend to be detrimental)

Most animals do not use or need nitrate, they need nitrogen which is supplied by

ingestion of plant products or animals.
