Bacteria which directly convert atmospheric nitrogen into nitrogen compounds are called

Read the following statement regarding the mineral (i) Both Rhiqobium and Frankia are free living in soil, but as symbionts, can fix atmospheric nitrogen. (ii) Ammonia synthesis by nitrogenase requires 16 ATP for each ammonia produced. (iii) While most of plants can assimilate nitrate as well as ammonium ions, the latter is quite toxic to plnats and hence cannot accumulate in them. (iv) Along with the transpiration stream, the nodules of some plants export the fixed nitrogen as urides. Which of these are correct

Aminoacids, as the name suggests, have both an amino group and a carboxyl group in their structure. In addition, all naturally occurring aminoacids (those which are found in proteins) are called L-aminoacids. From this, can you guess from which compound can the simplest aminoacid be made

[A]: In Nepenthes, lamina is modified to cap- ture insects to get nitrogenous food. [R]: The plant proteins are broken down to amino acids and then absorbed by plant.

When you take cells or tissue pieces and grind them with an acid in a mortar and pestle, all the small biomolecules dissolve in the acid. Proteins, polysaccharides and nucleic acids are insoluble in mineral acid and get precipitated. The acid soluble compounds include amino acids, nucleosides, small sugars etc. When one adds a phosphate group to a nucleoside one gets another acid soluble biomolecule called

[A] : Macrophage is a large amoeboid cell that can engulf, ingest and destroy bacteria, damaged cells and worn-out red blood cells. This process is called phagocytosis and is an important part of the body s defence against disease. [R]: Macrophages are found free (wandering) in the tissues, in connective tissue) as histiocytes), in the lining of the blood sinusoids of the liver (as Kupffer cells), and in lymphoid tissue. They make up the reticulo-endothelial system.

Certain bacteria living in the soil poor in oxygen convert nitrates into nitrites and then to free nitrogen and such bacteria are termed as Or The bacteria which convert NO_(3) rarr Free N_(2) are called as
