Your answer is invalid, because the plants return the nitrogen back in to the air. I think what you're trying to ask is what forms of nitrogen is taken by the plants. The answer is nitrides, and nitrates. Nitrides are formed by decomposers in the soil and further nitrogen fixation causes nitrides into nitrates. You can notice this through their equation: nitrides (n3) nitrates (no3).

How does nitrogen returned to the atmosphere?

When organisms die, their bodies decompose bringing the nitrogen into soil on land or into ocean water. Bacteria alter the nitrogen into a form that plants are able to use. Other types of bacteria are able to change nitrogen dissolved in waterways into a form that allows it to return to the atmosphere.


Where does the nitrogen from the atmosphere go before enters a plant?

The nitrogen goes into the nodules of the plant.


What form of nitrogen is beneficial for the atmosphere?

The form of nitrogen that is beneficial for the atmosphere is nitrogen gas (N2).


What form does nitrogen take in the atmosphere?

Nitrogen in the atmosphere exists in the form of diatomic molecules, specifically as N2.


Describe the path of nitrogen from the atmosphere to plant proteins?

Nitrogen gas in the atmosphere is converted by nitrogen-fixing bacteria into a form that plants can absorb, such as ammonium or nitrate. Plants take up these nitrogen compounds from the soil through their roots and incorporate them into proteins. When animals eat plants, they obtain nitrogen from plant proteins, continuing the cycle.


What is the transfer of nitrogen from the atmosphere to plants and back to the atmosphere or directly into plants again?

The transfer of nitrogen from the atmosphere to plants and back occurs through a process called nitrogen fixation. This can happen through the action of nitrogen-fixing bacteria that convert nitrogen gas into a form that plants can use. Once plants assimilate this nitrogen, it can be returned to the atmosphere through processes like denitrification or can be transferred to other organisms through the food chain.


How nitrogen can make up almost 80 percent of the atmosphere and still limit plant growth?

The reason nitrogen is abundant in the atmosphere yet limits plant growth is that plants cannot make use of elemental nitrogen. The bond between the nitrogen atoms in elemental nitrogen (which is a diatomic gas) is very strong and not easily broken. Therefore, plants must rely on bacteria in order to fix the nitrogen (convert it into a usable form).


What is the name of the process when nitrogen is returned to it's gas form?

The process in which nitrogen returns to it's gas form is known as nitrogen fixation


In the nitrogen cyclebacteria fix nitrogen from the atmosphere to form?

In the nitrogen cycle, bacteria fix nitrogen from the atmosphere to form ammonia. This ammonia can then be converted into nitrites and nitrates by other bacteria in the soil, which plants can absorb to use for growth. Nitrogen eventually returns to the atmosphere through denitrification by bacteria.


What is the largest storage pool of nitrogen in the biospheres?

atmosphere


What type of nitrogen is found in the atmosphere?

Nitrogen is found in the atmosphere as diatomic elemental nitrogen, N2.


What is the elemental form of nitrogen?

In the atmosphere nitrogen takes the form of the diatomic nitrogen molecule, N2.
