Solution:
Nitrogen assimilation is the process of formation of organic nitrogen compounds such as amino acids from inorganic nitrogen compounds present in the environment. Plants, fungi, and certain bacteria that cannot fix atmospheric nitrogen rely on the ability to assimilate nitrate or ammonia for their needs.
Nitrate reductases are enzymes that reduce nitrate to nitrite. This reaction is crucial for the production of protein in most of the crop plants since nitrate is the predominant source of nitrogen in fertilized soils.
