Use the information and diagram to answer the following question. Animals need nitrates (NO2) to make proteins. Nitrogen (N2) is found in the air but is not in a form that animals can use. Through the nitrogen cycle, nitrogen from the atmosphere becomes nitrates. image Which of these functions of bacteria in the nitrogen cycle MOST directly impacts plants and animals in the food chain? A. Bacteria are important because they make nitrates that animals need. B. Bacteria are important because they change nitrogen into nitrates that animals need. C. Bacteria are important because they allow plant roots to absorb nitrates from the air. D. Bacteria are important because they decompose plant matter that competes with living plants for nitrates.

Modes of Nutrition

It is a biological process of providing or obtaining food that is necessary for growth and health. It includes many physiological processes - absorption, ingestion, assimilation, catabolism, excretion, etc. In biology, the science that deals with nutrition's physiological and chemical processes are called "nutritional science."
