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
Roots of which plant contains a pink pigment that has an affinity for oxygen:
1. Carrot
2. Soyabean

During biological nitrogen fixation, inactivation of nitrogenase by oxygen poisoning is prevented by
1. leghaemoglobin
2. xanthophyll
3. carotene
4. cytochrome
The first stable product of fixation of atmospheric nitrogen in leguminous plants is
1.
2. ammonia
3.
4. glutamate
Leguminuous plants are able to fix atmoshpheric nitrogen through the process of symbiotic nitrogen fixation. Which one of the following statement is not correct during this process of nitrogen fixation ?
1. Nodules act as sites for nitrogen fixation
2. The enzyme nitrogenase catalyses the conversion of atmospheric N2 to NH3
3. Nitrogenase is insensitive to oxygen
4. Leghamoglobin scavenges oxygen and pinkish in color.
For its action, nitrogenase requires :
1. Light
2. Mn2+
3. Super oxygen radicals
4. High input of energy
