Nitrogen is a vital element for plant growth, yet plants (and most other organisms) cannot access it from atmospheric nitrogen. Explain why atmospheric nitrogen is inaccessible, and describe one natural (not artificial) way that plants have evolved to obtain nitrogenous compounds, including the specific plant structures involved.

- Plants are living organisms that belong to the kingdom Plantae. They are multicellular eukaryotes, meaning they have cells with a nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles. Plants are characterized by their ability to produce their own food through photosynthesis, a process that involves using sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water to produce glucose (sugar) and oxygen. One stressor for a pea plant could be exposure to high salinity in the soil. To simulate this stressor, we can water the plant with a solution containing higher levels of salt than normal. To record the impact of this stressor, we can measure the height and number of leaves of the plant. We can also measure the chlorophyll content in the leaves as an indicator of the plant's ability to carry out photosynthesis. Let's say we have two groups of pea plants, one group is watered with a normal solution and the other group is watered with a high salinity solution. After two weeks, we measure the height and number of leaves of…arrow_forwardA typical plant body consists of basic organs such as roots, stems, and leaves.
