Interpretation: The form of nitrogen supplied to plants by nitrogen-fixation bacteria is to be stated.
Concept introduction: The nitrogen cycle is a process in which nitrogen is converted into several forms as it passes from the atmosphere to the soil to organisms and back to the atmosphere. The nitrogen cycle is important because of the significance of nitrogen as a nutrient for maintaining life on Earth.
Answer to Problem 38LC
