Question 121525 • 25.26 TCEC BIO 1

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 mainly obtain nitrogen by absorbing nitrogen compounds, such as nitrates, dissolved in soil water through their roots. They cannot use most of the nitrogen gas in the air directly, so choice A is incorrect. The correct choice is “They absorb it through their roots.”
