11Nitrogen-fixing bacteria grow on the [blank_start]roots[blank_end] of legumes and convert nitrogen in the [blank_start]air[blank_end] into ammonia and nitrates.
Denitrifying bacteria is bacteria in the [blank_start]soil[blank_end] that convert unused nitrates back into [blank_start]atmospheric[blank_end] nitrogen.

12A [blank_start]dicot[blank_end] is a plant with two cotyledons per seed. These plants usually have flower petals that are arranged in groups of [blank_start]four[blank_end] or five. The leaves are usually [blank_start]broad[blank_end] and flat with branching veins. And they usually have a [blank_start]taproot[blank_end] system.
A [blank_start]monocot[blank_end] is a plant with only one cotyledon per seed. These plants usually have flower petals that are arranged in groups of [blank_start]three[blank_end]. The leaves are usually long and [blank_start]narrow[blank_end] with parallel veins. And they usually have a [blank_start]fibrous[blank_end] root system.- Amonocot

- BTurf
15Stolon are creeping special stems that grow [blank_start]above[blank_end] the ground and produce new [blank_start]plants[blank_end] wherever a node touches the [blank_start]soil[blank_end]. These are common in [blank_start]grass[blank_end] plants. They are also called [blank_start]runners[blank_end].
