Correct answer is (b) N2 + 8e + 8H+ + 16ATP → 2 NH3 + H2 + 16ADP + 16Pi

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

$N_{2} + 8 e^{-} + 8 H^{+} + 8 A TP \to N H_{3} + H_{2} + 16 A D P + 16 P i$

$N_{2} + 8 e + 8 H^{+} + 16 A TP \to 2 N H_{3} + H_{2} + 16 A D P + 16 P i$

$2 N H_{3} + 4 O_{2} \to 2 H^{+} + 2 H_{2} O + 2 N O_{3}^{-}$

$2 N H_{3} + 3 O_{2} \to 2 N O_{2}^{-} + 2 H^{+} + 2 H_{2} O$

Correct answer is (b) $N_{2} + 8 e + 8 H^{+} + 16 A TP \to 2 N H_{3} + H_{2} + 16 A D P + 16 P i$

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

N2​+8e−+8H++8ATP→NH3​+H2​+16ADP+16Pi

N2​+8e+8H++16ATP→2NH3​+H2​+16ADP+16Pi

2NH3​+4O2​→2H++2H2​O+2NO3−​

2NH3​+3O2​→2NO2−​+2H++2H2​O

Correct answer is (b) N2​+8e+8H++16ATP→2NH3​+H2​+16ADP+16Pi

$N_{2} + 8 e^{-} + 8 H^{+} + 8 A TP \to N H_{3} + H_{2} + 16 A D P + 16 P i$

$N_{2} + 8 e + 8 H^{+} + 16 A TP \to 2 N H_{3} + H_{2} + 16 A D P + 16 P i$

$2 N H_{3} + 4 O_{2} \to 2 H^{+} + 2 H_{2} O + 2 N O_{3}^{-}$

$2 N H_{3} + 3 O_{2} \to 2 N O_{2}^{-} + 2 H^{+} + 2 H_{2} O$

Correct answer is (b) $N_{2} + 8 e + 8 H^{+} + 16 A TP \to 2 N H_{3} + H_{2} + 16 A D P + 16 P i$
