What else can I help you with?
How are you able to obtain the nitrogen your body needs?
The air you breath is roughly 80% Nitrogen. But your body can't use the nitrogen directly from the air, so that doesn't do you any good. There are certain bacteria that take nitrogen that gets into the soil the soil and make it into compounds that your body can use, so when you eat plants you can get the nitrogen your body needs. For more information, look up the "nitrogen cycle."
In what form do plants use nitrogen so they can make protein?
Plants can not absorb atmospheric elemental Nitrogen (N2). The nitrogen must be bound to carbon or hydrogen atoms such as ammonia (NH3), or Urea (NH2)2CO. Nitrogen Fixing Plants such as clover have a symbiotic relationship with bacteria on their root system that convert atmospheric nitrogen (N2) to forms that the plants can use.
What would be a direct concequence of the dissapearance of nitorgen-fixing prokaryotes?
Plants couldn't make ammonia, so they would lack nitrogen, which is a component of proteins and nucleic acid. Since every species in the food chain ultimately gets their nitrogen from nitrogen fixation, they'd either have to find a new way of getting nitrogen or find a way of making nucleic acids and protein without it. The only alternative is extinction.
What Nitrogen containing waste product is excreted by the kidney?
ammonium, and protein metabolism.
How does nitrogen help in formation of DNA in human body?
Nitrogen acts as a building block for the formation and development of proteins
How many grams of nitrogen are in a gram of protein?
protein is 16% nitrogen so the answer would be 0.16g of nitrogen per gram of protein
How is the nitrogen cycle affected by desertification?
In the case of nitrogen-fixating bacteria or other microorganisms living in symbiosis with plants, if plants are removed so too will the microorganisms.
Why must nitrogen be fixed in the nitrogen cycles?
It has to be fixed by things in the soil called nodules, so it can be a form that plants can use in order to get protein to perform photosynthesis.

What do ribosomes attract?
ribosomes is where protein is synthesised so i suppose they attract mrna for the code to make the protein and the amino acid to build the protein. ribosomes is where protein is synthesised so i suppose they attract mrna for the code to make the protein and the amino acid to build the protein.
What is 'nitrogen drawdown'?
The use by beneficial soil microorganisms for their own benefit of nitrogen from large particle soil amendments is 'nitrogen drawdown'. Soil amendments are below ground conditioners that are either organic or mineral in their makeup. A popular form are wood chips.Unfortunately, wood chips are so large that they may open up and thereby dry the very soil for which they're supposed to improve movement of air and moisture. They also attract beneficial decomposers. The problem lies in the strong attraction that the microorganisms feel towards the nitrogen in the chips.Breakdown of the chips is supposed to release nitrogen and other nutrients into the soil. Unfortunately, the microorganisms may feed so much on the nitrogen that the soil becomes nitrogen deficient. Plants indicate the nitrogen deficient nature of such soil by turning yellow. The solution is nitrogen fertilizer treatments until the wood chips are broken down.

What element is found in protein but not nucleotides?
Sulfur is found in protein but not in nucleotides. Sulfur-containing amino acids, such as cysteine and methionine, contribute to the structure and function of proteins through the formation of disulfide bonds. Nucleotides, on the other hand, consist of a phosphate group, a sugar molecule, and a nitrogenous base, but do not contain sulfur.
Describe why nitrogen must cycle through an ecosystem?
Nitrogen must be cycled through an ecosystem so that the nitrogen is available for organisms to make proteins.
How do microorganisms affect jam?
There is no microorganisms/bacteria living/growing in jam because it is so sweet and the sugar dehytrates the microorganisms so they can no longer live in the jam. So the answer is no, no microorganisms live in jam.
What is the gaseous form of nitrogen called?
Usually, the term nitrogen or N2 means gaseous nitrogen, but to absolutely make it clear that nitrogen being referred to is gaseous, it should be so stated as "gaseous nitrogen."
Is protein a compound or element?
Proteins are organic compounds that contain the element nitrogen as well as carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. So, it is a compound not an element
