explain nitration process in plants
Answers
Answer:
Nitration is the class of chemical process that introduces the nitro group into an organic chemical compound. The term is also applied incorrectly to different processes forming nitrate esters among nitric acid and alcohols which take place in synthesizing nitroglycerin. The major difference among the final structure of nitrates and nitro compounds is, the nitrogen atom is bonded directly to a non-oxygen atom, mainly carbon or other nitrogen atoms. While in organic nitrates, the nitrogen shares a bond with an oxygen atom which is bonded to a carbon atom.
Nitration process in plants:
Explanation:
Several legumes have rhizobium which shelters rhizopus bacteria.They are present in root nodules. These bacterias can directly fix atmospheric nitrogen into nitrate and other nitrogen derivatives. In turn this process of nitrogen fixation helps plant growth and maintain nitrogen requirements of the plant.
