Astudent drew the following flowchart to show the movement of nutrients.
soil → roots → plants → ?
where does nitrogen go next?
o
a. directly into aquifers through condensation
o
b. directly into nearby animals as nutrition
o
c. directly into the air through evaporation
o
d. directly into nearby plants during fixation

B. Directly into nearby animals as nutrition

Explanation:

You should already know that the atmosphere is rich in nitrogen, however, this nitrogen is not available for plants. Plants only absorb nitrogen from the roots, being unable to absorb and release nitrogen into the atmosphere.

The nitrogen present in the soil is absorbed by the plants using the root, and through the help of nitrogen-fixing bacteria. Once the nitrogen is absorbed, the plant will use this nutrient to form several molecules necessary for its survival. The plant will not release nitrogen into the atmosphere, however this nitrogen will be absorbed by herbivorous animals, during their feeding by vegetables.

answer: national resource conservation services

national resource conservation services is the us. based approach that provides technical and financial assistance for natural resource management. nrcs society in conservation of resources by involving in activities like farmland protection, flood prevention, watershed protection, urban conservation, conserves economic and environmental conditions. it conducts soil surveys and implements the policy of natural resources management on the society.

when you breathe in, or inhale, your diaphragm contracts (tightens) and moves downward. this increases the space in your chest cavity, into which your lungs expand. the intercostal muscles between your ribs also enlarge the chest cavity. they contract to pull your rib cage both upward and outward when you inhale.
