What is the term for the biological process whereby atmospheric nitrogen is changed into a form of usable by plants?
Nitrogen is absorbed in plants with the help of specific bacteria.
What kind of organism converts nitrogen into a usable form of plants?
Bacteria
What is nitrogen fixation primarily carried out by?
Nitrogen-fixating prokaryotes (such as bacteria) present in the roots of legumes and some other plants take N2 from the air and convert it to nitrogen compounds usable by plants. Nitrogen fixing bacteria (diazotrophs).
What converts nitrogen into a usable substance during the nitrogen cycle?
I believe it is a nitrogen-fixing bacteria
What two form of nitrogen are usable to organisms?
•Plants use inorganic nitrogen-containing ions nitrate (NO3- -plants ate the nitrate) and ammonium (NH4+) Some bacteria able to use atmospheric nitrogen (N2 gas) as a nitrogen supply -Jacob Hirth-
How does atmospheric nitrogen become usable for plants and animals?
nitrogen fixing bacteria
What is the term for the biological process whereby atmospheric nitrogen is changed into a form usable by plants?
Nitrogen fixation.
What is the term for the biological process whereby atmospheric nitrogen is changed into a form of usable by plants?

What Plants are dependent on microorganisms for?
changing atmospheric nitrogen to a usable form
Why do animals not obtain nitrogen from the air?
Nitrogen gas is fairly inert and so is difficult for organisms to process. Instead, animals must get usable nitrogen compounds from their food.
What is the name given to any bacteria that convert nitrogen to nitrogen compounds?
Nitrogen fixing bacteria, such as Rhizobium.
How is nitrogen fixation helpful to crops?
Because elemental nitrogen is unusable by plants. It must be converted in the soil to a usable form and adsorbed by soil particles for plants to be able to utilize it.
What type of organism is able to covert free nitrogen from the atmosphere to form that is usable for animals?
Nitrogen fixing bacteria will enable some plants to convert atmospheric oxygen to a form that can be used by plants. The plants are then eaten by animals.
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 are two ways nitrogen becomes usable two plants humans and animals?
Amino acids, proteins and DNA.
What is the process of changing free nitrogen gas into a usable form of nitrogen?
Converting free nitrogen into a usable form ( a compound) is called nitrogen fixation.
Why do plants consume nitrogen?
Nitrogen is considered to be a limiting factor for plants since it cannot be absorbed as a gas. Plants will use ammonia as their main source fro nitrogen.
