If there were no green plants there would be no nitrogen cycle.

If there were no green plants, the nitrogen that most organisms need wouldn't be transferred to all living things. Nitrogen is in green plants first, and then the herbivores, omnivores, and carnivores get it by eating the plants or eating the animals that eat those plants. Without green plants, those animals wouldn't really have anything to get the nitrogen from. Nitrogen is crucial to all plants in making amino acids and proteins which they need to survive, so there would be no life on Earth.

Why is the nitrogen cycle important for the growth of plants?

Nitrogen actually is a big part of chlorophyll which is the chemical that gives plants their dark green color. During fall plants turn colors other than green because they lose their chlorophyll. So Nitrogen does give plants the dark green color that looks so great. However, if you get too much nitrogen in the soil, then it will start hurting the plant.


Does the nitrogen in lightning turn grass green?

Yes. Lightning provides the intense energy needed to combine atmospheric nitrogen and oxygen into nitrates. The rain then carries these nitrates down to the earth's surface enriching the soil. Acting as a fertilizer, nitrates in an indirect way helps make the grass green.


Does photosynthesis happen in all plants?

no,photosynthesis do not happen in all plants because all plants do not have cholophyll . plants that are green have cholophyll. so


How are squirrels and green plants connected in the oxygen cycle?

squirrels and green plants are connected to the oxygen cycle. The squirrel, like most living things breathe in oxygen and breathe out CO2 ( carbon dioxide ). Green plants or any plants in general, like a flower for example would take in that Carbon dioxide and give out oxygen. This process continues on and on in the oxygen cycle


Where does the Calvin cycle occurred in?

The Calvin cycle occurs in the stroma of chloroplasts. Chloroplasts are plants that contain the pigment chlorophyll, which makes plants green.

Why cannot green plants absorve gasious nitrogen?

green plants do not have the "power" to break the triple bond of N2 molecule. in better words, they do not have suitable enzymes. on the other hand, some bacteria have, the so colled "nitrogen fixing bacteria", living on legume plant roots.


Does starch contain nitrogen?

No, starch only contains Carbon, Hidrogen and Oxigen, normally the green leafs of the plants, skin of animals, are reach in nitrogen.


Is nitrogen a fertilizer provided for plants?

Nitrogen is a fertiliser that encourages green growth, but, as it also encourages soft growth it is better used in a balanced fertiliser.


What plants need nitrogen?

What type of organism is responsible for performing the majority of nitrogen fixation?

There are two ogranisms that are nitrogen fixers:Free-living (non-symbiotic) bacteria, which live in the soil. This includes the cyanobacteria (or blue-green algae) Anabaena and Nostoc and such genera as Azotobacter, Beijerinckia, and ClostridiumMutualistic (symbiotic) bacteria, which live live in nodules in the roots of plants. This includes Rhizobium,associated with leguminous plants, and Spirillum lipoferum,associated with cereal grasses.Nitrogen fixing bacteria are microorganisms present in the soil or in plant roots that change nitrogen gas from the atmosphere into solid nitrogen compounds that plants can use in the soil.
