What is nitrogen changed into before being used by living things?
lightning & bacterial action (nitrogen fixers).
What are two forms of fixed nitrogen?
oxygen and dioxide
What percentage of nitrogen is fixed by nitrogen fixing bacteria?
2.3473
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.
Most nitrogen is fixed by what?
The fixing of nitrogen is an important part of the nitrogen cycle. Nitrogen fixing bacteria fix the nitrogen back into the atmosphere.
What are two major ways in which nitrogen is fixed in ecosystems?
Two major ways whereby nitrogen is fixed in ecosystems are through rainfall and through leguminous crops.
What is the need of fixing atmospheric nitrogen find out the various ways by which atmospheric nitrogen is fixed?
Why does atmospheric nitrogen need to be converted?
What is nitrogen changed into before being used by living things?
lightning & bacterial action (nitrogen fixers).
What are two forms of fixed nitrogen?
oxygen and dioxide
What are three ways for nitrogen to be fixed?
1) Lightning 2) Biological 3) Bacteria
What is the diffrence between fixed nitrogen and free nitrogen?
OK well free nitrogen is fixed by bacteria that live in the soil. some bacteria live in nodules, or bumps , on certain plant roots. the bacteria get food from the plants, and plants absorb fixed nitrogen from the bacteria. animals get nitrogen by eating plants or by eating prey that have eaten plants. fixed nitrogen may enter the soil in other ways too. a small amount of free nitrogen in the air by lighting. it is carried to the ground by rainfall. fixed nitrogen also enters the soil because of decomposers. decomposers break down dead organisms, and fixed nitrogen is released in the soil. the fixed nitrogen can be absorbed by plant roots.
What is the difference between free nitrogen and fixed nitrogen?
Free nitrogen is in the air but fixed nitrogen is in the soil.
What are two ways nitrogen from the air changed into usable nitrogen?
lightning & bacterial action (nitrogen fixers).
How do you get nitrogen on earth?
Nitrogen is fixed
How do thunderstorms help in converting nitrogen to nitrates?
The short answer is yes. I am not sure about the amount but there are only two ways nature converts N2 into a form of nitrogen that is usable by plants. The two ways are microorganisms and lightning. I believe bacteria are the main nitrogen fixers, but there might also be some algae that convert nitrogen as well. We have also mastered fixing N2, the process is the Haber- Bosh process.
How does nitrogen fixed by nitrogen fixing bacteria?

bacteria and lighntning
