Answer» Correct Answer - B `underset("Nitrogen")(N_(2))tounderset("Dimide")(N_(2)H_(2))tounderset("Hydrazine")(N_(2)H_(4))tounderset("Ammonia")(2NH_(3))` The fixation of atmospheric nitrogen to ammonia is given as `N_(2)+8e^(-)+8H^(+)+16ATPunderset("Nitrogenase")overset(MO-Fe)to2NH_(3)+H_(2)+16ADP+16pi` The process in which atmospheric nitrogen gets concerted into inorganic nitrogenon (nitrate, ammonia) compounds through microorganisms is called biological nitrogen fixing. |
