Answer yes or no
(1)Nitrogen is used for the synthesis of plant proteins.
(2)Atmospheric nitrogen is fixed in soil as its compounds by the
process of lightning.
Answers
Answer:
Plants get their nitrogen from the soil and not directly from the air. ... The act of breaking apart the two atoms in a nitrogen molecule is called "nitrogen fixation". Plants get the nitrogen that they need from the soil, where it has already been fixed by bacteria and archaea.
Answer:
1) yes
2) no
Explanation:
1) It is well established that plant roots take up nitrogen compounds of low molecular mass, including ammonium, nitrate, and amino acids. ... We show that both species can use protein as a nitrogen source for growth without assistance from other organisms.
2)Nitrogen in the atmosphere can be transformed into a plant-usable form, a process called nitrogen fixation, by lightning. ... The nitrates fall to the ground in raindrops and seep into the soil in a form that can be absorbed by plants. Lightning does add nitrogen to the soil, as nitrates dissolve in precipitation
