Bacterial nitrogen fixation by nitrogen ...

Bacterial nitrogen fixation by nitrogen fixing bacteria is

A

oxidation of atmospheric `N = N" into "NO_3`

B

reduction of atmospheric `N = N" into "NH_3`

C

conversion of `NO^(2)^(-)" into "NO^3^-`

D

use of nitrogen rich compounds by plants.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Bacteria fix `N_2` into `NH_3` otherwise a biological `N_2` fixation (`N_2` into `NO_3`) is also `N_2` fixation.
