The atmosphere on earth contains nitrogen in a form that is unusable to plants True False
Solution
The statement is true.
Explanations: Although a sufficient amount of nitrogen gas is available in the environmental air
but the plants are biologically unable to utilize this gaseous nitrogen for various physiological
purposes. From evolutionary point of view, plants can utilize only compound form of nitrogen
solubilized as salts for biological relavance. Since nitrogen is extremely essential for bio-
synthesis of many biomolecules and sustaining life, natural methodologies to utilize the gaseous
oxygen have been developed.
A classical example for the same is presence of nitrogen-fixing bacteria in the air such as Nostoc,
Anabaena etc. These bacteria reside in the soild near the roots of legumes and pulse plants and
help in fixation of atmospheric gaseous nitrogen into soluble form. This nitrogen is then utilized
by the plants for various physiological functions.
