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

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.

1. The answer is "<span>the energy required to start the reaction".

</span>This energy is called as activation energy of the reaction. If the activation energy is high, reaction is slow. Enzymes help to carry out the reaction by a new path by reducing the activation energy. But the energy of reactants and the products remain as same as without enzyme.

2. The answer is "reaction in cells would be too slow to sustain life<span>".

</span>If the activation energy is very high for the reaction, then that reaction will be very slow and will require more time<span> to complete the reaction. Then survival is very low. Hence, the roll of enzymes is very important to sustain life.</span>
