The key reason is to help them make proteins
Amino acids make up proteins, and one of the things which makes up amino acids is nitrogen
Proteins are used for the growth of the plant, and also the repair and replacement of parts of the plant when it is damaged

What is the need of nitrogen in atmosphere?
What does it mean to say the "need of nitrogen in the atmosphere"? Needed for who, for what? Nitrogen is in the atmosphere regardless of who needs it.Is the nitrogen gas used for something? Definitely. Certain organisms are able to convert nitrogen gas, N2, in the atmosphere into NH3, ammonia, which is used as a plant nutrient. This is generally called nitrogen fixation.
How nitrogen can make up almost 80 percent of the atmosphere and still limit plant growth?
The reason nitrogen is abundant in the atmosphere yet limits plant growth is that plants cannot make use of elemental nitrogen. The bond between the nitrogen atoms in elemental nitrogen (which is a diatomic gas) is very strong and not easily broken. Therefore, plants must rely on bacteria in order to fix the nitrogen (convert it into a usable form).
If nitrogen in the atmosphere is not in a form plants can use how do they get nitrogen what is this process called?
they get threw their roots and it is called nitrogen fixation
Does the atmosphere have more nitrogen or oxygen in it?
Nitrogen is more in the atmosphere. Around 78% of the atmosphere is nitrogen gas and 21% is oxygen gas.
What type of nitrogen is found in the atmosphere?
Nitrogen is found in the atmosphere as diatomic elemental nitrogen, N2.
Where does the nitrogen from atmosphere go before it enters a plant?
The nitrogen goes into the nodules of the plant.
Where does the nitrogen from the atmosphere go before enters a plant?
The nitrogen goes into the nodules of the plant.
Where does nitrogen from atmosphere go before it enters a plant?
The nitrogen goes into the nodules of the plant.
Where does nitrogen from the atmosphere go before it enters the plants?
The nitrogen goes into the nodules of the plant.
Describe the path of nitrogen from the atmosphere to plant proteins?
Transpiration
Where does an animal's or plant's nitrogen go when it dies?
The nitrogen goes into the soil and then into the atmosphere through denitrification ;)
In what farm do plants use nitrogen?
Urea is the plant fertilizer that is highest in nitrogen. The nitrogen-rich chemical compound may be found in mammal urine and represents the highest nitrogen content of all high-nitrogen plant fertilizers. It offers the disadvantage of converting to vaporized forms that occupy the atmosphere, not the soil and its soil food web members such as plant roots.

Why does the gas liquid nitrogen have these use?
because most of our atmosphere has nitrogen in it
What do nitrogen fixing bacteria convert in the nitrogen cycle?
Nitrogen fixing bacteria are anaerobic bacteria present in the soil or in some plant roots that change nitrogen gas from the atmosphere into solid nitrogen compounds (e.g. ammonium salts) that plants can use in the soil.Nitrogen fixing bacteria that are symbiotic with plants use sugars supplied by the plant they live in to provide the metabolic energy to carry out this process.
In a nitrogen plant you get nitrogen by separating oxygen. Can you also recover oxygen simultaneously with nitrogen?
yes because if it is gathered, we will sstill have the same atmosphere
