magnesium ions are found in the centre of chlorophyll moolecules, and as chlorophyll is an essential component in the reaction of photosynthesis, which produces energy for growth, magnesium ions are therefore essential.

∙ 15y agoMagnesium is found in chlorophyll in the same way that iron is found in haemoglobin.
Both types of pigment have a porphyrin ring associated with the protein. In haemoglobin, the porphyrin ring is chelating an Fe2+ ion, while in chlorophyll it is a Mg2+ ion.
All plants and animals need nitrogen to make amino acids, proteins and DNA, as well as to make chlorophyll. Only legume plants can obtain nitrogen from the air; most plants have to obtain nitrogen and all other nutrients from the soil.

How do plants get the nitrogen they need to grow?
They absorb nitrogen through their roots.
Why plant needs nitrogen?
Plants need nitrogen to build proteins and nucleic acids.
What does a plant use nitrogen for?
At www.fernlea.com, it says "This nutrient is responsible for the healthy green color of your plants. It is an essential part of proteins and chlorophyll, the plant pigment that plays a vital role in photosynthesis. Nitrogen deficiencies result in a yellowing of leaves, and a general slow down in growth."
Is the clove plant a nitrogen fixer?
No, it is not a nitrogen fixer.
Where do the roots of a plant grow toward a source of water?
Plant roots generally grow in the soil. In the case of aquatic plants, they are already in the water and do not need to grow toward it.
What elements do plant need to grow?
nitrogen and phosphorous
Why is nitrogen important to plant and animals?
because the nitrogen helps the plant grow
Why is nitrogen not added in soil which leguminous plants are grown?
Legumes "fix" nitrogen in nodules on their roots, so they do not need additional nitrogen-containing fertilizers.
What is the relationship between bacteria and plants?
Plants need nitrogen to grow. They are surrounded by nitrogen in the air, but it is not in a form the plants can use. Nitrogen fixing bacteria on the roots of the plant convert (fix) the airborne nitrogen to a form the plants can use to grow.
Does nitrogen help to grow plant?
yes it does
Why does pitcher plant feed on insects even it is green and carries out photosynthesis?
pitcher plant is an insectivorous plant all plants need nitrogen insectivorous plants usually grow in an area which lack nitrogen insects contain nitrogen so it traps the insects
How do herbivores get the nitrogen they need to grow?
Herbivores get the nitrogen they need by eating plants.
Why only nitrogen is more in air why not water vapour?
nitrogen helps plant to grow more by gail
Do you need nitrogen to survive?
Humans do not need nitrogen gas to live, but the nitrogen atom is essential in the DNA molecule that stores human, and other animal and plant, genetic information.
How do plants get the nitrogen they need to grow?
They absorb nitrogen through their roots.
Why do plants need nitrogen?
All plants need nitrogen to make amino acids, proteins and DNA, but the nitrogen in the atmosphere is not in a form that they can use. Other plants get the nitrogen they need from the soils or water in which they live mostly in the form of inorganic nitrate (NO3-). Bacteria living in plant nodules in the soil on the roots of the plant also provide the plant with the nitrogen it needs while providing the bacteria a sugar source. Nitrogen is a limiting factor for plant growth.
How does atmospheric nitrogen fixation affect organisms?
Atmospheric nitrogen fixation is the process where nitrogen is converted into ammonia. Without nitrogen, organisms couldn't grow, and organisms need nitrogen more than anything to grow.
