∙ 13y agoNitrogen is the basic food of green growing things - to have a healthy plant circulatory system. Nitorgen is critical for plant growth, and is responsible for the lush green color of plant life (yellowish, sickly looking leaves can be caused by several things, but most commonly by nitrogen deficiency). Phosphorus is critical for root growth, overall plant health, and to a lesser extent, fruiting of the plant.

Elements in nucleic acids?
the main elements in nucleic acid are carbon,hydrogen,oxygen,nitrogen and phosphorus. carbon,hydrogen,oxygen,nitrogen and phosporus are the main elements of nucleic acid.
The big 4 elements in the body?
Four primary elements found in the body are carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen, though phosphorus and sulfur are also very important.
What are the 6 elements most important in biology?
To generalise, the substances that we actually need to survive in the first place is oxygen and water. These consist of hydrogen atoms and oxygen. Carbon is also very important as most things are made from carbon (along with other elements).Also, elements such as berylium, boron and lithium are not necessary but they are in the first 6 elements.Technically, the answer is no (but some of the elements are very important as I have said above).

What nutrient do organsms tend to get from their local ecosystem?
Organisms tend to get phosphorus from their local ecosystem. An organism can also get nitrogen from its local ecosystem. Nitrogen is added to the organism's local ecosystem by bacteria from the air.
