How do plants and animals get nitrogen if not from the atmosphere?
if not from the atmosphere , they must depend on a process called nitrogen fixation. They get it from the soil. That's why farmers add fertilizer to the soil to increase nitrogen content
What roles do nitrogen-fixing bacteria serve in the nitrogen cycle?
Nitrogen fixing bacteria play an important role in the soils of earth. Soil is the interface of the atmosphere, the lithosphere, the hydrosphere, and the biosphere. This interface is the most important ecosystem for all life on earth. Mankind depend on agriculture and livestock which depend on a continuous supply of nutrients in the soil. Similarly the animal life in any ecosystem depends on the plants which depend on a well nourished soil. without nitrogen fixing bacteria continually cycling atmospheric nitrogen (N2) back into the soil as plants continually remove this nitrogen, fixing it into their own organic structures, the soil would soon be depleted of nitrogen.
What is the best soil type for plant growth and why?
That will depend to some extent on the type of plant; but most plants will do best in a rich, well-aerated soil with a balanced pH and low salinity. Inexpensive testing kits are available.
How are plants that are grown in poor soil likely to differ from plants that are grown in good soil?

Why do plants depend on bacteria?
Bacteria change the consistency of the soil. That is they normally change the form in which nitrogen exists in the soil. This make it possible for plants to absorb all the right nutrients
How do plants and animals depend upon each other?
Lifecycle on the earth is interdependent. 1) plants get nutrient elements from the soil. 2) herbivores animals eat this plants. 3) carnivores animals depend on herbivores for food. 4) when the carnivores dies the body gets decomposed in soil IN this way they are interrelated
