What plant family helps return nitrogen to the soil?
Legumes fix nitrogen in the soil.
What if a plant has not have enough nitrogen?
nitrogen helps to make protein, which is important for growth. if a plant won't get nitrogen, it's growth will be slow and it will have small pale leaves :)
How is nitrogen accessible to the plant?
this chemical helps the plant to grow, if it doesn't get enough or too much it will only live for a short period of time:) -amyking&abbiesharp
What do nitogen-fixing bacteria do?
Nitrogen fixing bacteria change nitrogen from the air into nitrogen compounds such as ammonia, nitrate, and nitrogen dioxide. They do so, through two living arrangements. One's as free living bacteria in the soil. The other's in association with plants of the Fabaceae and Leguminosae families, such as beans and peas. In this arrangement, the plant gives the bacteria sugars in the form of exudates [waste products]. In return, the bacteria provides the plant with nitrogen in forms that the plant can take in.
Do peanuts and peas have nitrogen-fixing in there roots?
Yes, both peanuts and peas have nitrogen-fixing bacteria in their roots. This symbiotic relationship allows these plants to convert atmospheric nitrogen into a form that can be used by the plant as a nutrient. This process helps to enrich the soil and improve plant growth.
What plant family helps return nitrogen to the soil?
Legumes fix nitrogen in the soil.
Why is nitrogen important to plant and animals?
because the nitrogen helps the plant grow
What plant family restores nitrogen to the soil?
Legumes are the plant family that restores nitrogen to the soil. Most of legumes have symbiotic nitrogen-fixing bacteria in structures called root nodules.
What if a plant has not have enough nitrogen?
nitrogen helps to make protein, which is important for growth. if a plant won't get nitrogen, it's growth will be slow and it will have small pale leaves :)
Why only nitrogen is more in air why not water vapour?
nitrogen helps plant to grow more by gail
What is the relationship between the plant and bacteria in root nodules?
The nodules contain bacteria which can convert atmospheric nitrogen into ammonia
What is the symbiotic relationship legume plants and rhizobium bacteria?
The bacteria live in the plant cells, located on the root, and form nodules. These nodules convert nitrogen gas in the soil to usable energy for the plant. In return, the bacteria have a safe place to live and reproduce.
How does the nitrogen-fixing ability of Rhizobium help its plant host?
Rhizobia are bacteria found in soil that fix nitrogen once they're established inside the roots of legumes. This helps the plant obtain nitrogen more easily, and for these plants, it means that nitrogen fertilizer is not needed nearly as much.
Which plant are associated with nitrogen fixation?
Members of the legume family (peas, beans, and includes clover) help fix nitrogen in the soil.
Is lightning necessary for survival of mankind?
Not directly, but lightning helps fix nitrogen, which is necessary for plant growth.
what gas is required for the plants to make proteins?
Nitrogen is needed for good plant growth and helps them make proteins.
What is the purpose of legume nodules?
They are caused by a symbiotic bacteria which benefits the plant by fixing atmospheric nitrogen (which the plant needs to make proteins).
