Question

Plants take up nitrates and nitrites and convert them into.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Nitrogen

Explanation:

Plants take nitrates and nitrites to make nitrongen by process of nitrification and denitirification in soil

Answer 2

Why are plants so high in nitrates? They pick up from soil, nitrogen-based fertilizer, water, and nitrogen in the atmosphere. When we eat nitrates in plants, bacteria in our mouth convert them to—you guessed it—nitrites. Nitrites are then absorbed and stored in our cells until they're turned into nitric oxide, a compound that's proven to relax blood vessels and increase blood flow.

Nitrites are so essential, in fact, that our bodies even create it on their own. "For every kilogram of body weight you carry, your body naturally produces about a milligram of nitrite," says Jeff Sindelar, PhD, associate professor at University of Wisconsin-Madison department of animal sciences.
