N(2)+8(e-)+8H^(+)+16ATP rarr 2NH+H(2)+16...

`N_(2)+8_(e-)+8H^(+)+16ATP rarr 2NH+H_(2)+16ADP+16Pi` The above equation refers to

A

Ammonification

B

Nitrification

C

Nitrogen fixation

D

Denitrification

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
The synthesis of ammonia require the very high input of energy (8 ATP for each `NH_3` produced). The overall reaction involved in nitrogen fixation is
`N_2+8e^(-)+8H^(+)+16ATPto2NH_3+H_2+16ADP+16Pi^(-)`
Thus one molecule of nitrogen is converted into two molecules of ammonia.
