Some essential nitrogen compounds can be absorbed by plants from the soil in which they grow. the nitrogen compounds can be provided to the soil by nitrogen-fixing bacteria living in association with the plants and/or from fertilizers. Some nitrogen compounds can also be input to the soil from lightning strikes that provide activation energy to facilitate the reaction of atmospheric nitrogen to produce absorbable nitrogen compounds that can be carried into soil by rain.

What are two ways that nitrogen is fixed so plants can use it?
The only forms of nitrogen compounds that living things can make use of are ammonia compounds and nitrate compounds.These are called "fixed nitrogen". Animals obtain the nitrogen they need from proteins in the plants and/or animals they eat. Proteins are amino acid polymers and amino acids are built around an ammonia group.
Which of the following two compounds has the shortest nitrogen-nitrogen bond H2NNH2 or HNNH?
HNNH (100% sure of it) :)
What are the two ways nitrogen can be fixed?
Bacteria and Lighting
What is nitrogen changed into before being used by living things?
lightning & bacterial action (nitrogen fixers).
3 Describe two ways in which nitrates can be replaced naturally in the soil?
1. lightning makes nitrates from nitrogen and oxygen in the air. the nitrates then get washed into the soil by rain. 2. animal and plants decompose- depositing organic nitrogen into the soil
What kind of compounds are the most important minerals needed by plants?
Nitrogen and phosphorus are two.

What are two ways nitrogen becomes usable two plants humans and animals?
Amino acids, proteins and DNA.
What are two compounds that are formed when nitrogen combine with oxygen?
Nitrogen oxide can refer to a binary compound of oxygen and nitrogen, or a mixture of such compounds.
What Based on the content of most fertilizers name two elements other than carbon that are found in compounds in plants?
Nitrogen and phosporus
What nitrogen compounds do plants take in?
the inorganic forms of nitrogen, nitrate and ammonium, are considered to be the two nitrogen compounds which plants take up through their roots and use for their growth.the ability of roots to take up organic nitrogen in the form of amino acids appears to be common among different plant species.New research has shown that, apart from amino acids, plants can also take up organic nitrogen in the form of peptides and small proteins.Refer to link below.
List two major plant nutrients and two minor nutrients required for healthy plant growth?
major-carbon, nitrogen; minor-iodine, molibdinum
What are two important inorganic compounds involved in the nitrogen cycle?
Nitrogen gas and nitrate ions.
What are some compounds for nitrogen?
The two most common compounds of nitrogen are Potassium Nitrate(KNO3) and Sodium Nitrate (NaNO3) - Google Search results
What are two functions of plants and animals in the nitrogen?
plants and animals
Which of the following two compounds has the shortest nitrogen-nitrogen bond H2NNH2 or HNNH?
HNNH (100% sure of it) :)
What two compounds react to give potassium nitrate?
nitrogen and potassium :)
