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 do animals like the deer pictured contribute to the nitrogen cycle?
Animals such as deer eat plants that contain nitrogen. The nitrogen helps the animals build and repair cells. When that animal dies, the nitrogen is released back into the atmosphere.
What are two ways that nitrogen is fixed so plants can use it?
The only forms of nitrogen compounds that living things can make use of are ammonia compounds and nitrate compounds.These are called "fixed nitrogen". Animals obtain the nitrogen they need from proteins in the plants and/or animals they eat. Proteins are amino acid polymers and amino acids are built around an ammonia group.
Describe the path of nitrogen through its biogeochemical cycle?
Nitrogen gas in the soil is used by plants, which are eaten by animals. The waste products of the animals contain the nitrogen. It is broken down by bacteria, which releases nitrogen gas into the atmosphere, and the cycle repeats.
Explain why Nitrogen is important to organisms?
-Proteins are partly made from nitrogen without proteins , your cells will lack enough nourishment's to repair it self or to build new tissues - Plants require nitrogen to grow if nitrogen is not available for plants , they will fail and this disrupts the food chain - It is also an occurring element that is essential for the growth and reproduction in both plants and animals.
Can humans get the nitrogen they need to exist in the air?
Plants and animals die and decomposers break down their nitrogen containing molecules to ammonia. All animals get the nitrogen they need by eating plants, by eating other animals that ate plants, or by eating animals that ate animals that ate plants.
Why do plants and animal and other organisms need nitrogen?
Nitrogen is required by plants and animals for protein synthesis
How do other animal the nitrogen they need?
Plants and animals die and decomposers break down their nitrogen containing molecules to ammonia. All animals get the nitrogen they need by eating plants, by eating other animals that ate plants, or by eating animals that ate animals that ate plants.
Why do animals and plants need nitrogen?

How do plants get nitrogen compared to how animals get nitrogen?
Most plants get nitrogen from fertilizers. Some plants can have a process called nitrogen fixing in which nitrogen from the is turned into ammonium compounds. Animals get their nitrogen from food, by eating plants and other animals.
Where do animals get nitrogen from?
Animals get their nitrogen from plants and by eating other animals
What is the source of nitrogen for animals?
Animals get nitrogen from plants.
Why do animals need nitrigen to live?
Animals and plants need nitrogen to live because proteins and other biological compounds contain nitrogen. In plants, nitrogen compounds perform photosynthesis. In humans, nitrogen is the basis for amino acids, the building blocks of genetic material.
What would happen to the nitrogen cycle if there were no green plants?
If there were no green plants there would be no nitrogen cycle.If there were no green plants, the nitrogen that most organisms need wouldn't be transferred to all living things. Nitrogen is in green plants first, and then the herbivores, omnivores, and carnivores get it by eating the plants or eating the animals that eat those plants. Without green plants, those animals wouldn't really have anything to get the nitrogen from. Nitrogen is crucial to all plants in making amino acids and proteins which they need to survive, so there would be no life on Earth.
What are two functions of plants and animals in the nitrogen?
plants and animals
How do plants and animals differ in the ways they obtain nitrogen?
Plants get it from bacteria which live associated with their roots who take atmospheric nitrogen and fixate it (nitrogen cycle). Animals can only get it by ingesting organic compounds which contain nitrogen, such as plants and other animals which have eaten plants.
How does nitrogen from the air get into the bodies of plants and animals?
When the animals breathe in nitrogen it goes into their bodies so when they die and decompose the nitrogen they breathed in is now in the soil and also when they fertilize on the land.
