When do animals lose nitrogen?
Animals will lose nitrogen when they die. This is whey decay and nitrogen is released as ammonia into the air.
Why do plants and animal and other organisms need nitrogen?
Nitrogen is required by plants and animals for protein synthesis
What do animals use nitrogen for?
The same reason humans do. People breath oxygen and nitrogen.
What does nitrogen help animals to build inside their bodies?
Nitrogen helps animals to build amino acids inside their bodies. These acids are essential for making proteins which are vital for the body.
What is the only way that animals can obtain nitrogen?
eating the plants
Nitrogen in the soil is used by what?
nitrogen in the soil is used by both plants and animals.
Can nitrogen in soil be used by plants or animals?
Nitrogen is everywhere But somehow, nitrogen has to get from the atmosphere into a form that our body can use.I also think that nitrogen in soil can be used by plants not animals
Which form of nitrogen waste is excreted by crayfish?
Ammonia
What mineral is excreted in urine along with nitrogen?
sodium
What happens to nitrogen in amino acid breakdown?
Excess nitrogen is made into uric acid and excreted.
What uses nitrogen in the soil?
it is used by plants and animals
Do animals take in nitrogen directly from the atmosphere?
Since 78.08% of the Earth's atmosphere is composed of nitrogen, yes. But it cannot be used in biological processes. The nitrogen animals use comes in the form of nitrogen compounds acquired from food. Ultimately, the nitrogen used by most living things is produced by nitrogen-fixing bacteria which do use nitrogen from the atmosphere, these compounds are then taken in and used by plants.
What happen to the nitrogen in an organism after it dies?
Well, most of the Nitrogen in an organism's body is excreted as urine, urea or ammonia.
What is the source of nitrogen for animals?
Animals get nitrogen from plants.
Describe the path of nitrogen through its biogeochemical cycle?
Nitrogen gas in the soil is used by plants, which are eaten by animals. The waste products of the animals contain the nitrogen. It is broken down by bacteria, which releases nitrogen gas into the atmosphere, and the cycle repeats.
Where is carbon dioxide excreted in animals?
gas
Can humans get the nitrogen they need to exist in the air?
Plants and animals die and decomposers break down their nitrogen containing molecules to ammonia. All animals get the nitrogen they need by eating plants, by eating other animals that ate plants, or by eating animals that ate animals that ate plants.
