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.
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
The nitrogen content of some agricultural soils may be improved by?
water ferns with symbiotic cyanobacteria, or other plants with nitrogen-fixing bacteria
Nitrogen utilized by most plants is derived from?
The atmosphere (air) and through the nutrients in the soil.
What is the transfer of nitrogen from the atmosphere to plants and back to the atmosphere or directly into plants again?
Nitrogen cycle
When there is not enough nitrogen in the atmosphere for plants how do the plants get it?
Plants do not actually get their nitrogen from the atmosphere. They get it in compounds in the soil through their roots. Some plants form symbiotic relationships with bacteria in the soil. The bacteria draw nitrogen from the air and form nitrogen compounds. The plants can then use the nitrogen.
Why is nitrogen gas in the atmosphere useless to plants?
Nitrogen gas cannot be absorbed by plants
How do plants and animals get nitrogen is not from the atmosphere?
In rainforests where there is loads of leeching, plants get their nitrogen from other dead plants, where a nitrogen cycle is established
What plants absorb nitrogen from the atmosphere?
Cannabis
What is largest source of nitrogen?
Nitrogen is the most abundant element in the Earth's atmosphere. Bacteria in the soil 'fix' the nitrogen gas into compounds which can be taken in by plants; the plants get eaten by animals & they use the nitrogen to make proteins.
A common gas in your atmosphere essential for plants?
nitrogen
How do microorganisms make nitrogen in the atmosphere usuable to plants?
By fixing free nitrogen from the atmosphere through endogenous or exogenous methods.
Why plants and animals unable to absorb nitrogen directly for atmosphere?
Nitrogen is not very reactive
Where does nitrogen from the atmosphere go before it enters the plants?
The nitrogen goes into the nodules of the plant.
How do plants and animals get nitrogen if not from atmosphere?
nitrogen comes to the soil from atmosphere through lightening plants getthis nitrogen from the root nodules or collect it themselves . Animals eat these plants and get this nitrogen and again this animal is killed by other one and the nitrogen passes to it this process continues like a cycle
