The first stable product of fixation of atmospheric nitrogen in leguminous plants is?
|
|
NO3-
|
|
|
Glutamate
|
|
|
Ammonia
|
|
|
NO2-
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The first stable product of fixation of atmospheric nitrogen in leguminous plants is ammonia. This is catalysed by enzyme nitrogenase.
Detailed explanation-2: -Biological nitrogen fixation (BNF) occurs when atmospheric nitrogen is converted to ammonia by a nitrogenase enzyme.
Detailed explanation-3: -The nitrogen produces diimide (N2H2), hydrazine (N2H4) and then ammonia, which is the stable product. Thus, the correct answer is option (B), ‘Ammonia’.
