How is nitrogen returned to the soil?
Nitrogen is returned to the soil because nitrogen actually began in the soil and grew out and some even say that if you eat nitrogen you can get a cold or some kind of sick fluid inside you but that is a very good question and i would love to answer some more of youre answers.
What are the different ways by nitrogen in the air reaches the soil?
Nitrogen can enter the soil from plants such as legumes which fix nitrogen in their roots. Also dead plants and animals add nitrogen into the soil.
Does protein contain nitrogen?
yesEvery protein should contain Nitrogen.To be a protein it should contain -NH2 gruop
What is the transfer of nitrogen from air to soil to organism and back to air or soil?
nitrogen cycle.
What is the transfer of nitrogen from air to soil to organism and back to air and soil?
nitrogen cycle
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.
Why must nitrogen be fixed in the nitrogen cycles?
It has to be fixed by things in the soil called nodules, so it can be a form that plants can use in order to get protein to perform photosynthesis.
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."
Does soil contain nitrogen?
Yes, soil does contain nitrogen.
Identify one plant which is rich in protein?
Leguminous plants are rich in protein for the following reason. Leguminous plants have nodules on their roots containing bacteria which can fix nitrogen contained in the air in the soil. This nitrogen becomes available to the plant, which uses the nitrogen as an essential part of the proteins of its cells. Other types of plant cannot do this, and have available only the nitrate which is already present in the water in the soil.
Why can't animals use nitrogen in the air?
Because the nitrogen in the air is in a form not usable to animals and plants. The only way animals get nitrogen to build protein and nucleic acid is by eating it. This is usually through plants, which get there nitrogen from the soil. They get it from the soil cuz bacteria in the soil turn the atmospheric nitrogen into a usable form. In a water ecosystem cyanobacteria a.k.a. blue-green algae transform the nitrogen from the atmosphere into usable forms of nitrate
What mineral is needed for a plant to make protein?
The essential element needed for protein synthesis in plants is nitrogen. Protein contains carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen. The first three elements are supplied by water and carbon dioxide. Nitrogen is absorbed by the roots as nitrate from the soil.
How many grams of nitrogen are in a gram of protein?
protein is 16% nitrogen so the answer would be 0.16g of nitrogen per gram of protein
How can someone increase the nitrogen in the soil?
Lightning increases nitrogen in the soil

Can plants use the nitrogen in the air?
Trees do contain nitrogen because they contain protein (the density of protein in plants is less than in animals, but plants still need some protein to carry out their various biochemical processes).
What does not increase the amount of nitrogen in the soil?
It doesn't. Harvesting removes soil nitrogen
