Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution 1. **Understanding Biological Nitrogen Fixation**: - Biological nitrogen fixation is the process by which atmospheric nitrogen (N₂) is converted into ammonia (NH₃) by certain microorganisms, primarily prokaryotes, using the enzyme nitrogenase. 2. **Identifying the Molecules Involved**: - The key molecules involved in this process include: - Nitrogen (N₂) - Hydrazine (N₂H₄) - Diamide (NH₂CONH₂) - Ammonia (NH₃) 3. **Determining the Sequence**: - The correct sequence of molecules during biological nitrogen fixation is: - **Nitrogen (N₂)** → **Hydrazine (N₂H₄)** → **Diamide (NH₂CONH₂)** → **Ammonia (NH₃)** 4. **Evaluating the Options**: - The options provided were: 1. Nitrogen, Diamide, Hydrazine, Ammonia 2. Nitrogen, Hydrazine, Diamide, Ammonia 3. Nitrogen, Ammonia, Alpha Keto, Glutaric Acid, Glutamic Acid 4. Nitrogen, Nitrite, Nitrate, and Amino Acid - Based on the correct sequence identified, the second option "Nitrogen, Hydrazine, Diamide, Ammonia" is the correct answer. 5. **Conclusion**: - The correct sequence of molecules during biological nitrogen fixation is **Nitrogen → Hydrazine → Diamide → Ammonia**.
