Nitrogen fixing bacteria live in the nodules in a plant root. These nodules are formed by the cells of:
1. Epidermis
2. Cortex
3. Endodermis
4. Vascular cylinder
For each NH3 produced, the number of ATP molecules required by the nitrogenase enzyme is:
1. 4
2. 8
3. 12
4. 16
Identify the incorrect statement:
1. Frankia does not produce nitrogen-fixing nodules on the roots of non-leguminous plants
2. Microbes like Rhizobium live as aerobes under free living condition and become anaerobic during nitrogen fixing events
3. Nitrogenase is a Mo-Fe protein
4. Azotobacter and Beijernickia are free-living are free living nitrogen-fixing aerobic microbes.
The product(s) of the reaction catalyzed by nitrogenase in root nodules of leguminous plants is/are.
1. Nitrate alone
2. Ammonia and oxygen
3. Ammonia and hydrogen
4. Ammonia alone
