Question

Which one is the correct summary equation for the nitrogen fixation -

• A. $N_2 + 8e^{-} + 8H^{+} + 8ATP \to NH_3 + H_2 + 16ADP + 16Pi$
• B. $N_2 + 8e + 8H^{+} + 16ATP \to 2 NH_3 + H_2 + 16ADP + 16Pi$
• C. $2NH_3 + 4O_2\to 2H^{+} + 2H_2O + 2NO_3^{-}$
• D. $2NH_3 + 3O_2 \to 2NO_2^{-} + 2H^{+} + 2H_2O$

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

Correct answer is (b) $N_2 + 8e + 8H^{+} + 16ATP \to 2 NH_3 + H_2 + 16ADP + 16Pi$
