Question

To fix one molecule of nitrogen how many atps are required

Answer 1

Here is your answer. .


For fixing of nitrogen molecule 16 molecules of ATP are required.


N2 + 8H2 +8e +16 ATP ➡ 2NH3 + 16 ADP + H2 + 16 Pi..



hope it helps you. ☺

Answer 2

To fix one molecule of nitrogen,16 moles of ATP required

• Nitrogen is a component that helps in energy transfer and gives compounds such as ATP(adenosine triphosphate).
• ATP allows cells to conserve and use the energy released in metabolism.
• ATP is produced in animal cells by breaking down glucose. The energy in ATP comes from the sun and finally, ATP gives off a phosphate during chemical reactions to become ADP.
• Nitrogen forms part of energy-transfer compounds such as ATP (adenosine triphosphate) and lets cells preserve and use the energy released via metabolism.
• The nitrogenase enzymes act as a catalyst and help to add 3 hydrogen atoms to each of the nitrogen atoms.
• Nitrogen that fixes microbes needs 16 moles of ATP for the reduction of each mole of nitrogen.
• In most of the microbes which fix nitrogen, the high-potential electrons arrive from reduced ferredoxin produced by oxidative Phosphorylation.
• With each of the electrons that are transferred, ATP molecules are hydrolyzed. Therefore, at least 16 ATP molecules are hydrolyzed for each nitrogen molecule.
