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.

How does nitrogen get from organisms back into the atmosphere?
Nitrogen is returned to the atmosphere through the process of denitrification, where bacteria convert nitrates in the soil back into nitrogen gas. This process completes the nitrogen cycle as nitrogen is released back into the atmosphere as a gas.
How do plants obtain the nitrogen they need?
Plants obtain nitrogen primarily from the soil in the form of nitrates and ammonium through their roots. Some plants have a symbiotic relationship with nitrogen-fixing bacteria, which convert atmospheric nitrogen into a form that plants can use. Nitrogen is essential for plant growth and is a key component of proteins, enzymes, chlorophyll, and nucleic acids.
Does plants take in nitrogen directly from air?
NO. Nitrogen is a required nutrient for plants but it is obtained from ammonia or nitrates used as fertilizers. Some plants can "fix" (convert nitrogen in the air to an usable form) with the assistance of microorganisms living at the roots.
Why is nitrogen fixation necessary?
Most plants use single nitrogen atoms, not N2 molecules.
What form of nitrogen is beneficial for the atmosphere?
The form of nitrogen that is beneficial for the atmosphere is nitrogen gas (N2).
What is the transfer of nitrogen from the atmosphere to plants and back to the atmosphere or directly into plants again?
The transfer of nitrogen from the atmosphere to plants and back occurs through a process called nitrogen fixation. This can happen through the action of nitrogen-fixing bacteria that convert nitrogen gas into a form that plants can use. Once plants assimilate this nitrogen, it can be returned to the atmosphere through processes like denitrification or can be transferred to other organisms through the food chain.
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
Do plants take in nitrogen directly from the atmosphere?
Plants that can use nitrogen from the atmosphere are known as nitrogen fixers. The legume or pea family of plants are famous for being able to do this.Most plants don't have this ability.
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.
How do microorganisms make nitrogen in the atmosphere usuable to plants?
By fixing free nitrogen from the atmosphere through endogenous or exogenous methods.
Where does nitrogen from the atmosphere go before it enters the plants?
The nitrogen goes into the nodules of the plant.
Why plants and animals unable to absorb nitrogen directly for atmosphere?
Nitrogen is not very reactive
What natural processes renew supply of nitrogen in the atmosphere?
Nitrogen-fixing bacteria in the soil and roots of certain plants convert nitrogen gas from the atmosphere into a form that plants can use. Lightning also plays a role in converting nitrogen gas into compounds that can be used by plants.
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
If nitrogen in the atmosphere is not a form plants can use how do they get nitrogen what is this process called?
they get threw their roots and it is called nitrogen fixation
Where nitrogen most commonly found?
78% of the air in Earth's atmosphere is nitrogen. Also, all plants have nitrogen.
