Animals get there nitrogen basically from proteins. All proteins are derived from amino acids which contain nitrogen groups. Through several reaction nitrogen is extracted from these proteins.
Other organisms such some of the bacteria get there nitrogen via fixing it from the air, the process is called nitrogen fixing.Plants get there nitrogen by association with these nitrogen fixing bacteria.
What else can I help you with?
What is the source of nitrogen for animals?
Animals get nitrogen from plants.
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.
When do animals lose nitrogen?
Animals will lose nitrogen when they die. This is whey decay and nitrogen is released as ammonia into the air.
How do animals get their nitrogen they need?
well, herbivores eat plants (which have nitrogen in them due to help from nitrogen fixating bacteria) then other animals eat herbivores. Since animals are heterotrophs they have to get their nutrients from other organisms.
How do animals like the deer pictured contributed 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.
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.
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.
Can nitrogen in soil be used by plants or animals?
Nitrogen is everywhere But somehow, nitrogen has to get from the atmosphere into a form that our body can use.I also think that nitrogen in soil can be used by plants not animals
How do animals take in nitrogen for their biological processes?
Animals take in nitrogen for their biological processes by consuming plants or other animals that contain nitrogen. The nitrogen is then broken down and used by the animal's cells to build proteins and other essential molecules.
True or false animals get nitrogen by eating decomposers?
False. Animals do not get nitrogen directly by eating decomposers. Rather, animals obtain nitrogen by consuming plants or other animals that have already processed and absorbed nitrogen from the environment. Decomposers break down organic matter and release nitrogen back into the soil, where plants can then absorb it.
Do animals use nitrogen?
no
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
