Question 121531 • 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 nitrate, from the soil through their roots. Although nitrogen gas is abundant in the air, most plants cannot use it directly, so choice A is not correct. The correct choice is “They absorb it through their roots.”
