How is the nitrogen taken up by the plants? I. In the form of inorganic nitrates or nitrites II. In the form of organic compounds III. Directly taken up from the atmosphere Correct Answer Only I and II

Plants take nitrogen from the soil by absorption through their roots as nitrate ions, nitrite ions, or ammonium ions.

Most nitrogen obtained by terrestrial animals can be traced back to the eating of plants at some stage of the food chain.
