3 202040

I the correct answer

Answer 2

Option (A) 40,40,80 many electrons, protons,ATP are respectively required for the formation of 5NH3

Explanation:

• Nitrogen fixation is a chemical process in which molecular nitrogen with a strong triple bond is converted into ammonia.
• Nitrogen fixation works with a role to supply plants with nutrients that they cannot obtain from the air.
• Nitrogen-fixing microorganisms cannot assimilate the nitrogen in them
• The bacteria will take from the air as a gas and will release it to the soil as ammonia.
• The biological nitrogen fixation is represented by the following chemical equation :
• Here two moles of ammonia are produced from one mole of nitrogen gas at 16 ATP and a supply of a certain number of electrons and protons.

$N2+ 8H^{+} +8e^{-} + 16 ATP------ 2NH3 + H2 + 16ADP + 16 Pi$

Thus for 5 moles of ammonia, 80 ATP molecules are required.

So, the correct option is '40 electrons,40 protons,80 ATP is required for the formation of ammonia'.
