Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Plants are important organisms because they are able to receive ____ and incorporate them into ____ with the help of nitrogen-fixing, nitrifying and denitrifying bacteria.
A
water
B
rocks
C
organic compounds
D
inorganic elements
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Why Are Nitrogen Fixing Bacteria Important To Plants? The role of nitrogen-fixing bacteria is to supply plants with the vital nutrient that they cannot obtain from the air themselves. Nitrogen-fixing microorganisms do what crops can’t – get assimilative N for them.

Detailed explanation-2: -Examples of this type of nitrogen-fixing bacteria include species of Azotobacter, Bacillus, Clostridium, and Klebsiella. As previously noted, these organisms must find their own source of energy, typically by oxidizing organic molecules released by other organisms or from decomposition.

Detailed explanation-3: -Soil bacteria, or rhizobia, are able to perform biological nitrogen fixation in which atmospheric nitrogen gas (N2) is converted into the ammonia (NH3) that plants are able to use to synthesize proteins.
