Formation of organic nitrogen compounds like amino acids from inorganic nitrogen compounds is called as ____________(a) Nitrogen fixation(b) Nitrification(c) Denitrification(d) Nitrogen assimilation |
|
Answer» The correct choice is (d) Nitrogen assimilation To explain I would say: Ammonia or ammonium is oxidized to nitrite followed by the oxidation of nitrite to nitrate is called nitrification. Nitrate is reduced and ultimately produces N2 through a series of intermediate gaseous nitrogen oxide products is called denitrification. Conversion of nitrogen to ammonia or nitrogenous compounds is termed as nitrogen fixation. |
