Why is it that nitrogen is often a limiting plant nutrient, despite the fact that the atmosphere is 80% nitrogen gas (N2)
Len [333]

Nitrogen is a limiting plant nutrient because the bulk of the available nitrogen in the atmosphere is not usable by plants.

Plants are not able to make use of the nitrogen in the atmosphere directly. Atmospheric nitrogen needs to be converted into usable forms before it can be accessed by plants.

The conversion of atmospheric nitrogen to usable form by plants is known as nitrogen fixation and this is achievable by the activities of certain bacteria.

After the depletion of hepatic glycogen in newborns, which compounds can be used as precursors to sustain the blood glucose leve
VashaNatasha [74]

Answer:

Nutrients from breast milk.

Explanation:

Healthy newborns make blood glucose from sugar and several nutrients from the colostrum, a type of liquid that mother’s breasts produce before breast milk itself. Later, the babies make glucose from mature breast milk.

Most healthy babies, born after 37 weeks of gestation do not risk hepatic glycogen drops. They can easily compensate for normal drops in blood sugar, in other words, whenever the baby is breastfed when needed, he/she will be able to keep  his/her glucose levels stable.
