hydrogen

Answers

Answer
so which one is it?
Answered by GPT-4o mini
Plants use nitrogen and carbon from soil-based compounds to create amino acids from glucose.

- **Nitrogen** is essential for forming amino acids, which are the building blocks of proteins. Plants typically absorb nitrogen from the soil in the form of nitrates, ammonium, or organic matter.

- **Carbon** is obtained from carbon dioxide in the atmosphere during the process of photosynthesis and is also derived from glucose, which is produced during this process.

**Hydrogen** is also important, as it is part of water and contributes to the structure of organic molecules, but it is not extracted specifically from soil. **Fluoride** does not play a role in the synthesis of amino acids.

In summary, while plants primarily utilize nitrogen and carbon to synthesize amino acids, hydrogen is also important, but more indirect.
