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.

marissa [1.9K]

Answer:2 the lupine dependent butterflies would disappear.

If the spraying of pesticides will remove all the insects then there will be no insect that will pollinate the lupine flowers. So this will cause removal of lupine species from the environment. And the lupine dependent butterflies will not be able to release their egg on these specific flower and will also disappear from the environment.

The removal of lupine flower from the environment will lead disappearing of these lupine dependent butterflies.
