Question

Nitrogen is absorbed by plants in form of (A) NO-3 (B) NH3 (C) NO-2 (D) both (a) and (c)

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

Plants obtain nitrogen from soil as NO3- (nitrate), NH4+ (ammonium) and NO2- (nitrite) ions. Nitrate and nitrite are reduced to ammonium state which is then incorporated into amino acids, proteins and other organic substances.

$N O_{2}^{-}$

both (a) and (c)

Plants obtain nitrogen from soil as $N O_{3}^{-}$ (nitrate), $N H_{4}^{+}$ (ammonium) and $N O_{2}^{-}$ (nitrite) ions. Nitrate and nitrite are reduced to ammonium state which is then incorporated into amino acids, proteins and other organic substances.
