The first stable product of fixation of atmospheric nitrogen in leguminous plants is
Options
- ANO ₂⁻
- Bammonia
- CNO ₃⁻
- Dglutarnate
Correct answer
B. ammonia
Step-by-step solution
The process of conversion of nitrogen ( N ₂ ) to ammonia is termed as nitrogen fixation. N ₂ N ₂ H ₂ N ₂ H ₄ 2 NH ₃ (Nitrogen) (Dimide) (Hydrazine) (Ammonia) aligned & 2 NH ₃+3 O ₂ 2 NO ₂⁻+2 H ⁺+2 H ₂ O & 2 NO ₂+ O ₂ 2 NO ₃⁻ aligned In reductive animation ammonia reacts with -ketoglutaric acid and forms glutamic acid -ketoglutaric acid + NH ₄⁺+ NADPH Dehydrogenae Glutamate Glutamate + H ₂ O + NADP
