Answer 2

${\large{\mathcal{\red{●Answer●}}}}$

This arrangement means that the root nodules are sources of nitrogen for legumes, making them relatively rich in plant proteins. All proteins contain nitrogenous amino acids. Nitrogen is therefore a necessary ingredient in the production of proteins. Hence, legumes are among the best sources of plant protein.

Pulses are a great source of protein. This means they can be particularly important for people who don't get protein by eating meat, fish or dairy products. But pulses can also be a healthy choice for meat-eaters.
