The nitrogen content of some agricultural soils may be improved by?
water ferns with symbiotic cyanobacteria, or other plants with nitrogen-fixing bacteria
What kind of nitrogen do plants need?
Bacteria and plant roots perform nitrogen fixation, which allows plants to use the nitrogen. Nitrogen is used in cells to build proteins and DNA. However, plants get their nitrogen as "nutrients" in the soil.
Plants which assist in nitrogen fixation are?
Legumes
Which organisms transform nitrogen to a form that is useful to plants?
bactieria
What is an example of nitrogen fixing a process essential for life on Earth?
The answer choices are:Plants take in nitrogen gas from the atmosphere.Bacteria convert nitrogen gas into a form that plants can use.Water absorbs nitrogen.Animals take in nitrogen gas from the atmosphere.
How do plants and animals get nitrogen if not 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

Why do many fertilizers have a high nitrogen content?
because plants love nitrogen! it makes them grow faster.
What do plants use nitrogen to do?
Mainly to construct proteins, plants with high protein content are those which require the most.

Why do plants need ammonia?
For its nitrogen content. Plants don't necessarily need to have nitrogen provided in the form of anhydrous ammonia, but it's a fairly common method in the Midwest part of the US.

What crop can replace nitrogen in soil so it will retain its fertility?
Generally leguminous plants i.e.,plants of Family Fabaceae have root nodules inhabited by nitrogen fixing bacteria such as Rhizobium leguminosarum,which retains and increases the nitrogen content in the soil.
Why urine used to fertilize plants?
because urine contains urea which enriches the soil with nitrogen content.
How do you prevent yellowing leaves on pepper plants?
Yellow leaves are usually a sign of overwatering.

How do plants transfer nitrogen in the nitrogen cycle?
Plants transfer nitrogen in the nitrogen cycle through assimilation.
