Nitrogen Fixation

Real World Example

Imagine trying to cook a meal with a pantry full of ingredients but not knowing how to turn them into a dish. This is similar to how plants need nitrogen but can't use it directly from the air, relying instead on soil bacteria to transform it into a usable form. Just as a chef converts raw ingredients into a delicious meal, soil bacteria convert nitrogen gas into ammonia, a form that plants can readily absorb and utilize.
