Answer 2

Nitrogen undergoes reduction three times with the help of nitrogenase before it is converted into ammonia.

• Nitrogen is one of the chemically inert and the most

abundant molecules in nature. Nitrogen molecules

are converted into the ammonia is responsible

for carrying efficient energy and also in production

of fertilizers.

• One of the main nutrients is nitrogen that are essential for the survival of all living organism.
• By the reduction of every single molecule of nitrogen, one molecule of hydrogen gas and two molecules of ammonia are formed.
• Nitrogen fixation is the process in which nitrogenase is used as a catalyst to reduce nitrogen gas.

Hence, nitrogen is converted into ammonia after reducing it three times with the help of nitrogenase.
