Question-1

The first stable product of fixation of atmospheric nitrogen in leguminous plants is

(a)

(b)

(c)

(d)

Explanation:

Answer: (d)

Nitrogen fixation is the conversion of inert atmospheric nitrogen or dinitrogen ($N_2$) into utilisable compounds of nitrogen like nitrate, ammonia, amino acids, etc. There are two methods of nitrogen fixation - abiological and biological. Biological nitrogen fixation is performed by both free living and symbiotic forms. Symbiotic nitrogen fixing organisms hand over a part of their nitrogen to the host in return for shelter and food. The nodule of leguminous plants contains all the necessary biochemical components, such as the enzyme nitrogenase and leghaemoglobin, for nitrogen fixation. The enzyme nitrogenase is a Mo-Fe protein and catalyses the conversion of atmospheric nitrogen to ammonia, the first stable product of nitrogen fixation.
