Question

rhizobium converts the atmospheric nitrogen into ......... compounds ​

Answer 1

Answer:

The bacteria colonize plant cells within root nodules, where they convert atmospheric nitrogen into ammonia using the enzyme nitrogenase and then provide organic nitrogenous compounds such as glutamine or ureides to the plant.

Answer 2

Rhizobium converts atmospheric nitrogen into nitrogenous compounds.

• Plants cannot absorb and convert atmospheric nitrogen into complex forms such as proteins. Certain bacteria are present in the soil that help the plants by converting nitrogen into plant absorbable forms such as nitrates and ammonia. This is called nitrogen fixation.
• An example of nitrogen fixing bacteria is Rhizobium. Found in the roots of luminous plants, it is responsible for converting atmospheric nitrogen into nitrogenous compounds such as ammonia.
