What else can I help you with?
How is notrogen fixation a necessary part of the nitrogen cycle?
Plants use nitrogen a N- and air has N2. Nitrogen fixation changes nitrogen into a form that plants can use.
What is the relationship between bacteria and plants?
Plants need nitrogen to grow. They are surrounded by nitrogen in the air, but it is not in a form the plants can use. Nitrogen fixing bacteria on the roots of the plant convert (fix) the airborne nitrogen to a form the plants can use to grow.
What is the proccess in which nitrogen is converted into a form plants can use?
nitrogen fixation
Can nitrogen gas be used by plants?
No. Plants cannot use elemental nitrogen. The nitrogen must first be fixed, either by lightning or by nitrogen-fixing bacteria. Some plants have such bacteria in their roots.
Can plants use pure nitrogen in the air after fixed by lightning?
Plants cannot directly use pure nitrogen from the air. Nitrogen gas is converted into a form that plants can use (nitrate and ammonium) through a process called nitrogen fixation, which can occur naturally through lightning or with the help of nitrogen-fixing bacteria in the soil. Plants can take up these converted forms of nitrogen from the soil through their roots.
How is notrogen fixation a necessary part of the nitrogen cycle?
Plants use nitrogen a N- and air has N2. Nitrogen fixation changes nitrogen into a form that plants can use.
How does nitrogen fixation help plants?
Because it converts nitrogen into a form plants can use.
What is the relationship between bacteria and plants?
Plants need nitrogen to grow. They are surrounded by nitrogen in the air, but it is not in a form the plants can use. Nitrogen fixing bacteria on the roots of the plant convert (fix) the airborne nitrogen to a form the plants can use to grow.
What kind of nitrogen do plants use for their growth and development?
Plants primarily use nitrate (NO3-) nitrogen for their growth and development.
What types of nitrogen are plants easily able to use"?
Plants are easily able to use nitrate and ammonium forms of 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.
Can plants use ammonia as a source of nitrogen for their growth and development?
Yes, plants can use ammonia as a source of nitrogen for their growth and development.
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).
How does nitrogen fixation work in the process of converting atmospheric nitrogen into a form that plants can use for growth?
Nitrogen fixation is the process of converting atmospheric nitrogen into a form that plants can use for growth. This is done by certain bacteria, like Rhizobium, that live in the roots of leguminous plants. These bacteria have the enzyme nitrogenase, which converts atmospheric nitrogen into ammonia, a form of nitrogen that plants can absorb and use for their growth.
Nitrogen in the soil is used by?
Grass and plants use nitrogen to grow.
What is the proccess in which nitrogen is converted into a form plants can use?
nitrogen fixation
Can nitrogen gas be used by plants?
No. Plants cannot use elemental nitrogen. The nitrogen must first be fixed, either by lightning or by nitrogen-fixing bacteria. Some plants have such bacteria in their roots.
