Where is most of the nitrogen on earth found?
78% of the air in Earth's atmosphere is nitrogen. Also, all plants have nitrogen.
Even though considerable nitrogen is available in the air most plants do not use the nitrogen in the air why not?
Because they don't want to.
What organism is responsible for converting nitrogen into nitrates?
Bacteria is the the most responsible organism that converts nitrogen into nitrates. Which plants can then use.
Nitrogen utilized by most plants is derived from?
The atmosphere (air) and through the nutrients in the soil.
Can plants absorb nitrogen compounds from soil on their own?
Yes. Vascular plants can absorb nitrogen compounds such as nitrates from the soil on their own.What plants can't do on their own is fix nitrogen from the air into nitrogen compounds. Some plants including legumes (such as peas, beans, lupins) and casuarinas form symbioses with nitrogen-fixing bacteria to form nitrogen into nitrogen compounds.
How do plants get nitrogen compared to how animals get nitrogen?
Most plants get nitrogen from fertilizers. Some plants can have a process called nitrogen fixing in which nitrogen from the is turned into ammonium compounds. Animals get their nitrogen from food, by eating plants and other animals.
How do most plants take up nitrogen?
plants take in nitrogen compounds through their roots.
Is the most nitrogen fixation performed by plants?
It is performed by nitrogen fixing bacteria that live on the roots of plants.
Plants that replenish nitrogen in farmers paddocks?
Plants which aid in replenishing nitrogen in agricultural lands are called "nitrogen fixing" plants. Most of these actually host a bacteria in the roots of the plant that actually converts nitrogen to a formulation that can be used by plants. This is then stored in the roots as nodules. Most legumes are considered Nitrogen fixing although the most commonly used for this purpose is Clover.
Is it true most nitrogen fixation is performed by plants?
No it is not true. Plants cannot fix nitrogen. Bacteria do the job
How do most animals get nitrogen?
From plants or air.
Will additional fertilizers, such as nitrogen supplements damage most plants?
The use of nitrogen and other fertilizers will enhance the growth of most plants when used correctly.
What part of the nitrogen cycle is most responsible for making nitrogen available for plants?
it is the part of the nitrogen cycle
Where nitrogen most commonly found?
78% of the air in Earth's atmosphere is nitrogen. Also, all plants have nitrogen.
Where is most of the nitrogen on earth found?
78% of the air in Earth's atmosphere is nitrogen. Also, all plants have nitrogen.
How do most plants meet their nitrogen needs?
they get it from the soil.
Plants use nitrogen to make?
Many compounds in plants include Nitrogen including Proteins and DNA. Note, most plants can not use atmospheric Nitrogen (N2), and must absorb nitrogen that is bonded to hydrogen or carbon such as Ammonia (NH3).
