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

    A)  \[NO_{2}^{-}\]          

    B)  ammonia

    C)  \[NO_{3}^{-}\]           

    D)  glutamate

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

     The process of conversion of nitrogen \[({{N}_{2}})\] to ammonia is termed as nitrogen fixation, \[\underset{(Nitrogen)}{\mathop{{{N}_{2}}}}\,\to \underset{(Dimide)}{\mathop{{{N}_{2}}{{H}_{2}}}}\,\to \underset{(Hydrazine)}{\mathop{{{N}_{2}}{{H}_{4}}}}\,\to \underset{(Ammonia)}{\mathop{2N{{H}_{3}}}}\,\] \[2N{{H}_{3}}+3{{O}_{2}}\xrightarrow{{}}2NO_{2}^{-}+2{{H}^{+}}+2{{H}_{2}}O\] \[2N{{O}_{2}}+{{O}_{2}}\xrightarrow{{}}2NO_{3}^{-}\] In reductive animation ammonia reacts with\[\alpha -\] ketoglutaric acid and forms glutamic acid \[\alpha -\]ketoglutaric acid \[+\,NH_{4}^{+}+NADPH\] \[\xrightarrow[\text{Dehydrogenae}]{\text{Glutamate}}Glutamate+{{H}_{2}}O+NADP\]
