The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Nitrogen Fixation**: Nitrogen fixation is a process where nitrogen gas (N₂) from the atmosphere is converted into ammonia (NH₃) by certain bacteria, such as Rhizobium. This process is essential for plants as they cannot utilize atmospheric nitrogen directly. 2. **Analyzing the Options**: - **Option 1**: "Nitrogen fixation needs anaerobic condition." - This statement is correct. Nitrogenase, the enzyme responsible for nitrogen fixation, is inactivated by oxygen. Therefore, an anaerobic environment is necessary for its activity. - **Option 2**: "ATP that is used in nitrogen fixation comes from respiration of host cell." - This statement is also correct. The energy required for nitrogen fixation is provided by ATP, which is generated through the respiration of the host plant cells. - **Option 3**: "Emmates serve as protein precursor key compound for nitrogen transport and storage." - This statement is correct. Emmates (or amino acids) are indeed precursors for proteins and play a crucial role in nitrogen transport and storage in plants. - **Option 4**: "Emmates are low nitrogen to carbon ratio." - This statement is incorrect. Emmates, which contain two amino groups, have a higher nitrogen content compared to normal amino acids, which contain only one amino group and one carboxyl group. Therefore, they have a higher nitrogen to carbon ratio. 3. **Conclusion**: The wrong statement among the options provided is option 4. **Final Answer**: Option 4 is the incorrect statement. ---
