how is nitrogen fixed in the atmosphere?
Answers
Answer:
Nitrogen fixation is the process by which atmospheric nitrogen is converted by either a natural or an industrial means to a form of nitrogen such as ammonia. In nature, most nitrogen is harvested from the atmosphere by microorganisms to form ammonia, nitrites, and nitrates that can be used by plants.
Answer: Nitrogen is present in abundance in the atmosphere. Nitrogenous compounds can be found in different places , like in soil. But sometimes Nitrogen is not sufficient in soil for plants growth so Nitrogen Fixation in the atmosphere is important. Nitrogen fixation process can be done naturally or by an industrial means . So, nitrogen can be fixed naturally in the atmosphere by some micro-organisms present in the roots of the plants in the soil and sometimes in the air. And by cemical reactions by industrial means.
