Plants assimilate nitrogen primarily through the uptake of nitrate (NO3-) and ammonium (NH4+) from the soil. These forms of nitrogen are absorbed by the plant roots and transported to the leaves, where they are converted into organic compounds like amino acids and proteins through a series of biochemical processes. Nitrogen-fixing bacteria in the soil or in symbiotic relationships with legumes can also convert atmospheric nitrogen (N2) into forms usable by plants, enriching the soil. Overall, this nitrogen assimilation is crucial for plant growth and development.

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.
What correctly explains how atmospheric nitrogen is converted to nitrogen compounds used by living organisms?
Atmospheric nitrogen (N₂) is converted into nitrogen compounds through a process known as nitrogen fixation. This can occur naturally via lightning or through biological means, primarily by certain bacteria and archaea that possess the enzyme nitrogenase. These microorganisms convert N₂ into ammonia (NH₃), which can then be further processed by other bacteria into nitrites (NO₂⁻) and nitrates (NO₃⁻), forms that plants can assimilate. Ultimately, these nitrogen compounds are taken up by plants and enter the food chain, making nitrogen available to living organisms.
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 plants get atmospheric nitrogen?
some plants have bacteria in their roots which contain nitrogen when plants want nitrogen they exchange their food made them with nitrogen. Example: pea plants contain bacteria called rhizobium which contains nitrogen
How do plants and animals get nitrogen is not from the atmosphere?
In rainforests where there is loads of leeching, plants get their nitrogen from other dead plants, where a nitrogen cycle is established

Even though considerable nitrogen is available in the air most plants do not use the nitrogen in the air why not?
Plants cannot directly use nitrogen gas (N2) from the air because they lack the enzymes required to convert N2 into a form (like ammonia or nitrates) that they can assimilate. Therefore, plants rely on nitrogen-fixing bacteria in the soil to convert atmospheric nitrogen into a usable form. This nitrogen fixation process allows plants to obtain the necessary nitrogen for growth and development.
Which nitrogen in the air reaches the soil?
Are you on about the Nitrogen cycle? If this is the case, Nitrogen can be transferred into the soil from animal deification, or Nitrogen ions can be transferred through a lightening storm and rain drops.

Do plants produce food when they no nitrogen?
No,plants need nitrogen.
Do plants produced food when they have no nitrogen?
No,plants need nitrogen.

When there is not enough nitrogen in the atmosphere for plants how do the plants get it?
Plants do not actually get their nitrogen from the atmosphere. They get it in compounds in the soil through their roots. Some plants form symbiotic relationships with bacteria in the soil. The bacteria draw nitrogen from the air and form nitrogen compounds. The plants can then use the nitrogen.
How do plants transfer nitrogen in the nitrogen cycle?
Plants mainly obtain nitrogen in the form of nitrates from the soil through their roots. This nitrogen is then used by plants to build proteins and other essential molecules. When plants die or shed leaves, nitrogen is returned to the soil through decomposition, where it can be taken up by other plants.
How do you add organic nitrogen?
There are nitrogen fixing plants, such as legumes, that will add nitrogen to the soil naturally. When these plants die, they release nitrogen into the soil, making it available for other plants.
