What are two forms of nitrogen can plants and animals use?

ammonium salts; nitrate salts.


What two functions of bacteria in the nitrogen cycle?

Bacteria function in the nitrogen cycle as nitrogen fixers and denitrifiers. Nitrogen fixing bacteria take in atrmospheric nitrogen gas and "fix" it into a nitrate or nitrite that can be used by plants. Denitrifiers decompose dead plant tissues and release nitrogen to the atmosphere.


What are two ways nitrogen becomes usable two plants humans and animals?

Amino acids, proteins and DNA.


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.


Why are nitrogen phosphorus and potassium important to plants?

The short and sweet answer is that, in many ways, Nitrogen functions in plants in a similar fashion as Iron does in animals. Without Iron, animals become anemic. Without Nitrogen plants become anemic. Nitrogen is a component of many plant chemicals including cellulous, protein, chlorophyll, and some gums. If you want a plant to grow and green-up, it needs Nitrogen in some form. It is usually the most needed element when fertilizing plants for two reasons. 1) It is about the most easily leached element in the soil. Any added water causes the free Nitrogen to flow away. 2) Calcium from stucco, or cement leaches easily into the soil, and Calcium competes for the same absorption sites on the roots, as Nitrogen. So plants near stucco or sidewalks are often Nitrogen starved and often need even more added Nitrogen in the soil than the same plants some distance from stucco, bricks, sidewalks and foundations.


What two things can fix nitrogen?

Nitrogen-fixing bacteria and leguminous plants, such as soybeans and clover, can fix nitrogen by converting atmospheric nitrogen into a form usable by plants through a process called nitrogen fixation.


Why cant plants absorb gaseous nitrogen?

plants and animals are not adapted to absorb nitrogen from the air. Nitrogen Fixation is a process where nitrogen is changed into a more reactive form for plants and animals to use. There are several ways where nitrogen fixation can happen: lightning, bacteria, carnivorous plants and industrial fixation.


What are two ways of adding nitrogen to the soil without the use of artificial fertilizers?

Blood meal or fall time cover crop such as clover

What two groups of bacteria responsible for nitrogen fixation are found in what and in the root of?

The two main groups of bacteria responsible for nitrogen fixation are Rhizobium found in legume root nodules, and Azotobacter found in the rhizosphere of various plants. Rhizobium forms a mutualistic relationship with legumes, providing fixed nitrogen in exchange for sugars, while Azotobacter functions as a free-living nitrogen fixer in the soil.


What two kinds of plants have these bacteria in there roots?

Nitrogen-fixing bacteria.
