Answer 2

D. Plant life cannot use nitrogen atoms unless they are fixed into

pairs.

Step-by-step explanation:

Nitrogen is present in very high concentration in the atmosphere about 78 percent. This nitrogen cannot used by the plants due to the presence in molecular form. This atmospheric nitrogen fixes by bacteria called Nitrogen fixing bacteria which is present in the roots of leguminous plants. This atmospheric nitrogen is converted into nitrates which is used by the plants for making amino acid.
