Question

Which of the following are not the features of component II of nitrogenase enzyme complex?
Select one:
a. contains sulfur
b. component II is known as the MoFe protein
c. not active without component
d. component II is nitrogenase reductase​

Answer 1

Answer:

option is

(c) not active without component

Answer 2

NITROGENASE ENZYME COMPLEX

Nitrogenase reductase is the second component of the nitrogenase enzyme complex. It's called the Fe protein since it's a smaller molecule. Sulfur is present in both molecules, and neither is active without the other.

hence, component II is known as the MoFe protein isn't the feature of component II of nitrogenase.

CHARACTERISTICS OF NITROGENASE ENZYME COMPLEX:

* Nitrogenases are enzymes generated by cyanobacteria (blue-green bacteria) and rhizobacteria, among other bacteria. These enzymes are in charge of converting nitrogen (N2) to ammonia (NH3).

* The only enzyme family known to catalyze this reaction, which is a crucial stage in the nitrogen fixation process, is nitrogenases. All forms of life require nitrogen fixation, as nitrogen is necessary for the production of molecules (nucleotides, amino acids) that give rise to plants, animals, and other species.
