Nutrition in Plants

Q1: Why do organisms need to take food?

Answer: All organisms take food and utilise it to get energy for the growth and maintenance of their bodies.

Q2: Why do plants use the nitrogen present in soil? How is this nitrogen replenished in the soil?

Answer: Plants cannot absorb nitrogen in gas form; they need it in soluble form. Therefore, they use the nitrogen present in soil to prepare proteins.

Atmospheric nitrogen is fixed in soil by nitrogen-fixing bacteria such as Rhizobium,which live in the root nodules of leguminous plants such as gram, peas, beans, etc. In return, the plants provide food and shelter to the bacteria.
