CASE STUDY
Nitrogen is the most plentiful gas in the air. When we inhale, we take some amount of nitrogen into our lungs
and exhale it. But plants need nitrogen for their survival. They can not take nitrogen directly from the air.
Bacteria, that live in the soil and roots of some plants, take nitrogen from the air and change its form so that
plants can use it.
1. How plants take Nitrogen from the air?
2. Plants need nitrogen for ______________.
ANSWERS
1. Bacteria, that live in the soil and roots of some plants, take nitrogen from the air and change its form so that
plants can use it.
2. their survival.
ASSERTION AND REASONING
ASSERTION: (A) Astronauts have to wear special protective space suits filled with air when they go to the moon.
REASONING: (R) On moon there is no air hence the suit is filled with Oxygen gas.
