What is the relationship between the plant and bacteria in root nodules?
The nodules contain bacteria which can convert atmospheric nitrogen into ammonia
Is the clove plant a nitrogen fixer?
No, it is not a nitrogen fixer.
What is the process in the nitrogen cycle by which plant roots absorb nitrates?
assimilation
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."
What form of nitrogen is produced by bacteria - in certain plant root nodules?
These bacteria, through the plant, receive elemental nitrogen from the air, and use it to produce ammonia (NH3). This process is called nitrogen fixation. The ammonia can then be converted in to oxides of nitrogen and nitrogen salts, such as nitrites and nitrates, which are used by the host plant and others as nutrients.
What is the relationship between the plant and bacteria in root nodules?
The nodules contain bacteria which can convert atmospheric nitrogen into ammonia
What are some micronutrients a plant needs?
Nitrogen, boron, magnesium, manganese, potassium,carbon.
Do plant and animals need nitrogen?
At the very basic level all DNA needs nitrogen. WIthout DNA there is no life.they need it to live
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 do venus-flytrap and pitcher plant get there energy?
The pitcher plant lacks nitrogen. In order to get nitrogen it catches the insect & digest its protein in an acid solution. The plant can then absorb the nitrogen compounds it needs to make its own compounds.
What is the purpose of legume nodules?
They are caused by a symbiotic bacteria which benefits the plant by fixing atmospheric nitrogen (which the plant needs to make proteins).
What is the mutualistic relationship between legumes and nodule bacteria?
They are caused by a symbiotic bacteria which benefits the plant by fixing atmospheric nitrogen (which the plant needs to make proteins).
Why is nitrogen important to plant and animals?
because the nitrogen helps the plant grow
Why do people put nitrogen in plant fertilizer?
People put nitrogen in fertilizers because nitrogen in the form of ammonium nitrogen is essential for a plant's growth.
What is the function in the nitrogen cycle?
nitrogen cycle helps in exchanging of nitrogenous gas or died dry organism when decompose and get loose into the soil so as to provide the plant with nutrient for there good growth and develope
Which part of the plant takes in nitrogen?
roots
Where does the nitrogen from atmosphere go before it enters a plant?
The nitrogen goes into the nodules of the plant.
