What else can I help you with?
Animals can use nitrogen only if it is in the form of?
Air/gas animals and humans breathe in, and a little bit of nitrogen is included in the air it has just breathed in.
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.
What are 2 ways nitrogen becomes useable to plants animals and humans?
by Bacteria.
What do animals use nitrogen for?
Animals use nitrogen to build proteins in their bodies. Nitrogen is a vital component of amino acids, which are the building blocks of proteins essential for growth, maintenance, and repair of tissues in animals.
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.
How do humans release nitrogen?
Much like humans, animals go through a process of metabolic waste to rid themselves of the toxins in their system. Some of the chemicals animals get rid of include nitrogen, phosphates, sulfates, water, and uric acid.
Can animals use nitrogen directly from the atmosphere?
no plants and animals cannot use nitrogen straight out of the air every time we take a breath you breath it in but it goes through nitrogen fixation to let us humans animals and plants to use it.
What is the source of nitrogen for animals?
Animals get nitrogen from plants.
What are two ways nitrogen becomes usable two plants humans and animals?
Amino acids, proteins and DNA.
How would we get nitrogen we need to make proteins and DNA?
Plants get the nitrogen they need to make proteins and DNA by absorbing it from the soil through their roots in the form of nitrates or ammonium. Animals, including humans, obtain nitrogen by consuming plants or other animals that have already assimilated nitrogen into their bodies. This nitrogen is then used to synthesize proteins and nucleic acids in our cells.
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.
