Question

The product(s) of reaction catalyzed by nitrogenase in root nodules of leguminous plants is/are : (A) Ammonia alone (B) Nitrate alone (C) Ammonia and oxygen (D) Ammonia and hydrogen

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

Nitrogenase enzyme catalyses the nitrogen fixation in root nodules of leguminous plants. The reaction is as follows:

N_{2} + 8 e^{-} + 8 H^{+} + 16 A TP \to

2 N H_{3} + H_{2} + 16 A D P + 16 P i

So, products of nitrogen fixation are both ammonia and hydrogen

Q. The product(s) of reaction catalyzed by nitrogenase in root nodules of leguminous plants is/are :

Ammonia alone

Nitrate alone

Ammonia and oxygen

Ammonia and hydrogen

Nitrogenase enzyme catalyses the nitrogen fixation in root nodules of leguminous plants. The reaction is as follows: N2​+8e−+8H++16ATP→ 2NH3​+H2​+16ADP+16Pi So, products of nitrogen fixation are both ammonia and hydrogen

Nitrogenase enzyme catalyses the nitrogen fixation in root nodules of leguminous plants. The reaction is as follows:
$N_{2} + 8 e^{-} + 8 H^{+} + 16 A TP \to$
$2 N H_{3} + H_{2} + 16 A D P + 16 P i$
So, products of nitrogen fixation are both ammonia and hydrogen
