Question 121534 • 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 compounds, such as nitrates, from the soil through their roots. Although nitrogen gas is abundant in the air, most plants cannot use it directly; certain bacteria convert it into forms plants can absorb. So the correct choice is “They absorb it through their roots.”
