Question 5 • TX-Earth Systems A

How do plants obtain nitrogen?

Answer
A
They remove it from the air.
B
They absorb it through their roots.
C
They fix it in their leaves.
D
They produce it in their stems.

Explanation

Plants obtain nitrogen by absorbing nitrogen-containing compounds, such as nitrates, from the soil through their roots. Most plants cannot use nitrogen gas directly from the air, and they do not produce nitrogen in their stems or leaves. So the correct choice is “They absorb it through their roots.”
