If by radiation all nitrogenase enzyme are inactivated, then there will be no:

Options

  1. Afixation of nitrogen in legumes
  2. Bfixation of atmospheric nitrogen
  3. Cconversion from nitrate to nitrite in legumes
  4. Dconversion from ammonium to nitrate in soil.

Correct answer

C. conversion from nitrate to nitrite in legumes

Step-by-step solution

If by radiation all nitrogenase enzyme is inactivated, then there will be no fixation of nitrogen in legumes. The enzyme nitrogenase is necessary for biological nitrogen fixation only. If it gets inactivated by radiation, the process of biological nitrogen fixation will get affected. Nitrogen fixation occurs through other ways also. So either phenomenon of nitrogen fixation will not stop by the absence of nitrogenase enzyme. Neither conversion of ammonium to nitrate(nitrification) nor conversion of nitrate to nitri
