(b) Amnonia and urea
(c) Urea and nitrite
(d) Nitrates and nitrites

Answer 1

Nitrogen gets oxidized into (d) Nitrates and nitrites.

Explanation for the answer:

• Nitrogen is an essential nutrient for the growth, development, and reproduction of plants.
• growth, development, and reproduction of plants.It is the biological process which occurs in the atmosphere due to UV radiation and lightning.
• This lightning converts dinitrogen into nitric oxide, which is further oxidized to form nitrogen dioxide.
• Ammonia is the most reduced form of nitrogen.
• most reduced form of nitrogen. Nitrogen in ammonia gets converted or changed to other products under the influence of an oxidising agent.
• While Nitrite and nitrate are the oxidised form.
• Hence, the correct answer among all the options is option (d) Nitrates and nitrites.
