During Nitrogen Fixation,microorganisms Convert

Question

During nitrogen fixation,microorganisms convert:
A)nitrate to dinitrogen gas.
B)dinitrogen gas to ammonia.
C)ammonia to dinitrogen gas.
D)dinitrogen gas to nitrate.
E)ammonia to nitrate.

Accepted Answer

During nitrogen fixation, microorganisms convert dinitrogen gas (N2) to ammonia (NH3). This process involves the reduction of atmospheric nitrogen by nitrogenase enzymes produced by certain bacteria, archaea, and fungi. The ammonia produced can then be assimilated into organic compounds by plants and other organisms.
