Plants use nitrates to make proteins - these are the building blocks of all the plant material and enzymes. or they make 'amino acids' which are then used to make the proteins if you want to be really technical like Sam!

Is it true although 78 percent of air is nitrogen plants cannot use this form well?
It is very close to it, being about 78.09%.
What is a nitrogen-fixing bacteria?
Although the air is made up of about 70% nitrogen, plants cannot use nitrogen in this N2 form. Nitrogen fixing bacteria change nitrogen into the form of soluble nitrates so that plants can use it. Other bacteria, known as de-nitrifying bacteria, change nitrates back into N2, which completes the nitrogen cycle Updated by: Levi Levitt
What is the purpose of nitrogen-fixing bacteria?

How do plants use sulphur?
Plants cannot make protein from pure carbohydrate, because proteins contain nitrogen and sometimes sulphur. They get the nitrogen which they need from the nitrates in the soil. They get the sulphur from sulphates in the soil.
How are nutirents such as nitrate and phosphate useful to plants if they are not required for photosynthesis to make food?
Plants require nitrates for use with sugar to produce protein. Both nitrates and phosphates are used to create DNA, especially phosphate as it makes up the 'backbone' of the DNA. Phosphate is also needed to create ATP, or usable energy.
Why is nitrogen important in healthy soil?
Plants use nitrogen in the form of nitrates. Nitrogen is essential in a healthy soil because plants use it in the form of an important nutrient.
What is a plant's role in the nitrogen cycle?
Plants consume nitrogen in the form of Nitrates. Nitrogen gets converted into nitrates by the denitrifying bacteria. These plants absorb nitrogen in the form of nitrates through the groundwater.
What do plants use nitrites and nitrates to form?
Sometimes proteins and sometimes the nitrogenous bases in their genetic material (DNA/RNA)
How do nitrates enter plants?
Nitrogen fixing bacteria make nitrates available for plants to use.
How do humans use nitrogen?
Humans use nitrogen in the form of proteins. Bacteria found in soil convert atmospheric nitrogen into nitrates that plants use to produce proteins.
Is it true although 78 percent of air is nitrogen plants cannot use this form well?
It is very close to it, being about 78.09%.
What organism is responsible for converting nitrogen into nitrates?
Bacteria is the the most responsible organism that converts nitrogen into nitrates. Which plants can then use.

What role do bacteria play the nitrogen cycle?
Although the air is made up of about 70% nitrogen, plants cannot use nitrogen in this N2 form. Nitrogen fixing bacteria change nitrogen into the form of soluble nitrates so that plants can use it. Other bacteria, known as de-nitrifying bacteria, change nitrates back into N2, which completes the nitrogen cycleThey fix nitrogen into forms usable by plants.
What process involves the capture and conversion of nitrogen into a form usable by plants?
Nitrifying bacteria can convert atmospheric nitrogen in to nitrates that plants can use in the soil. That is why leguminous plants having these micro-organisms in the nodules enrich the soil for nitrogen deficiency.
Does the nitrogen in lightning turn grass green?
Yes. Lightning provides the intense energy needed to combine atmospheric nitrogen and oxygen into nitrates. The rain then carries these nitrates down to the earth's surface enriching the soil. Acting as a fertilizer, nitrates in an indirect way helps make the grass green.
What form do plants take nitrogen from soil?
In the form of nitrates and nitrites of ammonia
