Getting to the Root of Nitrogen Fixation

The video explores James's experiment with a sweet potato in a tank, highlighting the process of nitrogen fixation. It explains the role of microbes in converting atmospheric nitrogen into usable forms for plants, emphasizing the importance of nitrogen in life processes. The video also discusses the challenges of nitrogen fixation, the role of nitrogenase, and the impact of nitrogen on ecosystems.

How do nitrogen-fixing organisms protect their nitrogenase enzyme?

What are some other ways plants can obtain nitrogen besides nitrogen fixation?

Discuss the potential consequences of having too little or too much nitrogen in an ecosystem.
