Why do plants need nitrogen?Plants need nitrogen to make protein units- amino acids, nitrogen combines with hydrogen, oxygen and carbon from glucose
glucose also provides energy
The nitrogen comes from the minerals in the soil
How does nitrogen get into the soil?

Plants get their nitrogen in the form of nitrates from the soil, taken up by their roots
Fertilisers contain nitrogen and phosphates
How are plants adapted to get as many nutrients from the soil as possible?

Plant roots have a very large surface area to help them absorb water and minerals. Tiny root hair cells take in minerals, such as nitrates, by active transport
How are root cells specialised for their job?

Nitrate ions are found dissolved in soil water, and in rivers and seas.

Remember, the cycling of nitrogen through soil (nitrates) into plants (proteins) and animals (when they eat the plant protein). At each stage, decomposers break down proteins to recycle the nitrogen.

The 6 mark question
Explain why and how plants take nitrates from the soil. Include in your answer a discussion of the use of nitrates, the role of active transport, and the design of the roots.The quality of your written answer will be assessed. (6 marks)

In small groups discuss the answer to the 6 mark question, then attempt to complete the question to gain the full 6 marks
Don’t forget these tips:
Write a list of relevant keywordsUse bullet points- but write in full sentences
