Why is nitrogen fixation important to all organisms?

Biology
1 answer:
Fudgin [204]4 years ago
4 0
It's because it converts nitrogen gas into a usable form for plants. Most organisms can't use nitrogen gas (N₂) as-is because it doesn't react easily with other compounds (due to the triple bond between the nitrogen atoms). Nitrogen has to be fixed (into ammonia (NH₃)) before it is accessible.
