nitrogen fixing bacteria fix or attach atmospheric nitrogen in soil or make it easily avialable to the plants as plants need nitrogen as one of their macronutrient element for their growth.

∙ 8y agoNitrogen-fixing bacteria are important to other organisms because they bind atmospheric nitrogen into compounds (ammonium and nitrates) that they and plants can absorb and use, to build proteins and other complex substances.

What organisms would you consider the most important keystone organisms in the food web?
Bacteria is the most important organism because bacteria gets the nutrients from dead plants and animals, and then it provides the nutrients for the grass to be able to grow.
Do plants have germ cells?
plants have bacteria, everything does, and some bacteria are necessary, others are harmful.
Characteristics do Archaea and Bacteria have?
all plants have bacteria
A situation in which bacteria receive sugar from plants and the plants receive nitrogen from the bacteria is known as?
A drug deal.
What plants do bacteria eat?
They eat all kinds of bacteria
What do bacteria do that is helpful to plants?
Nitrogen fixing bacteria convert atmospheric N2 to organically accessable compounds. Nitrogen is an important nutrient for plants. Kevin 2012
Diffusion important to bacteria?
Bacteria are unicellular organisms which means they have only one cell to perform all the required functions suchs as growth, repair and reproduction. Because bacteria are to small to have a digestive system, bacteria relies on diffusion to get its nutrients and water. So therefore diffusion is important to bacteria
What is an important use of rhizobium bacteria?
it is used to fix nitrogen in the the soil for the plants
What does bacteria decompose?
Bacteria decomposes organisms that have died. This is important because when bacteria decomposes the organism, therefore we have carbon dioxide. If we didn't have carbon dioxide, then we wouldn't have photosynthesis, therefore we wouldn't have plants.
How does bacteria benefit plants?
Nitrogen fixing bacteria are important for plants as they can convert Nitrogen from the air into Nitrates in the soil which the plant can then use. Legumes have nodules on their roots to provide a suitable habitat for them.
Are bacteria non green plants?
No. Bacteria are not classified as plants, although some perform photosynthesis like plants.
What came first plants or bacteria?
bacteria
How do plants and microbes interact in mutually beneficial ways?
Some Bacteria fix nitrogen from the air and give it to plants, others degrade complex organic compound into inorganic elements which are taken by the plants; in return plants synthesize organic compounds used by bacteria for energy. Bacteria associated with plants to fix nitrogen and benefited by the plants for space and energy are called symbiotic bacteria.
