Nitrogen Informative Speech
You might ask yourself what one of the most common elements used would be. Well I'm here to tell you that it is nitrogen! One of the biggest users of Nitrogen is all of the plants around the world; especially the crops that we grow for food. This is perhaps why it is one of the most important elements also. All the food around the world comes from the crops that are grown some way or another.
However, the odorless and colorless gas, nitrogen, cannot be used in the state found naturally in our environment. The gas has to go through a process called nitrogen fixation. Now, the crops we grow and any other plant is able to do that on their own.
Scientists have been able to fix nitrogen and make fertilizer in large plants for a while now. …show more content…
They help the nitrogen react with iron and sulfur group. Normally these elements don't mix well together, but with the help of nitrogenase they do. They developed two different things in the cracking of the nitrogen code. The main one of the two is a group of the nitrogenase that shields itself from unwanted reactions with different elements. Allowing these reactions would disrupt the nitrogen fixation process and all of the research would be a dud. You might wonder how this research does any good for us and not just research that simply states facts. Holland, one of the scientists behind this work says that this work could help farmers be able to create their own nitrogen fertilizer right on the farm. Ask any farmer, this would be a huge breakthrough and advancement into the farming world. That is the largest reason why I think this research is a great idea. It seems hard to do, but these researchers have looked into a place that would actually be helpful to the world and not pointless.
Being able to create your own nitrogen fertilizer would be much more efficient and cost effective rather than orders it from a large manufacturer and have it shipped to you. With the speed our world runs on today, time is for sure money. Being able to cut down time would be a huge plus for
