Uptake by plants and microorganisms
Plants and microorganisms take up different types of nitrogen. The main types are ammonium (NH4+) and nitrate (NO2-). Plants use nitrogen for many life processes. One is to make chlorophyll – the green pigment in plants that enables energy from sunlight to be transformed into chemical energy.
