Question : Leguminous plants are full of protein.

Answer»

Solution :Nodules are located on the ROOT of leguminous plants. SYMBIOTIC bacteria Rhizobium reside in it. These bacteria fix atmospheric nitrogen into ammonia. Plants synthesize amino acid by use of ammonia. MANY such amino acids connect with each other with PEPTIDE BOND and form polypeptide and finally forms proteins from it. Thus leguminous plants possess protein in abundance.
