plants are surrounded by nitrogen in our atmosphere. every acre of the earth’s surface is covered by thousands of pounds of this essential nutrient, but because atmospheric gaseous nitrogen is present as almost inert nitrogen molecules, this nitrogen is directly available to the plants that need it to grow, develop and reproduce nitrogen is an important compenet of many important structural, genetic and metabolic compounds in plant cells it is a major component of chlorophyll , the compound by which plants use sunlight energy to produce sugars from water and carbon dioxide it is also a major component of amino acids, the building blocks of protein and some act as structural units in plant cells while the other act as enzymes making possible many of the biochemical reactions on which life is based nitrogen is also a component of energy-transfer compounds such as ATP (adenosine triphosphate) which allows cells to to conserve and use the energy released in metabolism, and finally nitrogen
