Question
what do plants produce using nitrogen?
a. sugar
c. protein
b. nitrogen oxides
d. fat
Brief Explanations
Plants absorb nitrogen (e.g., as nitrate) to synthesize molecules containing nitrogen. Proteins are composed of amino acids, which have nitrogen in their amino groups ($-NH_2$). Sugars (A) and fats (D) consist of only C, H, O; nitrogen oxides (B) are not plant products. Thus, proteins require nitrogen.
