Nitrogen is present as amino acids in plants which is an important factor for growth. It is formed when lightening strikes and a chemical reaction is produced and the nitrogen produced is adsorbed by the plants. Example of an amino acid - Nitrobactor.
Nitrogen also occurs as the following in air:-
- Nitrogen oxide
- Nitrous oxide
- Nitrogen dioxide
- Nitrates
Nitrogen is mixed with hydrogen to form ammonia which is a fertiliser.

Why does earth need nitrogen?
Nitrogen generators can be used for a variety of purposes. While not really meant for commercial use, nitrogen can be used to fill tires in cars and planes, preserve packaged food freshness, and are helpful for use in electric components.
How is Nitrogen stored in the biosphere?
The largest store of nitrogen is atmosphere, where it exists as nitrogen gas. Other major stores of nitrogen includes oceans and organic matter in soil.
How do bacteria help the nitrogen cycle?
Actually nitrogen exist in the atmosphere in dinitrogen (N2) form and cannot be utilized directly. As such bacteria help in converting atmospheric nitrogen into ammonia which then can be used by the plants.
Describe the nitrogen cycle and explain why it is important for the survival?
The nitrogen cycle is how nitrogen moves between plants, animals, bacteria, the atmosphere, and the soil. In each phase, it is in a different form.
