Question

Write the steps of conversion of atmospheric nitrogen to ammonia by the enzyme in the nitrogen fixing bacteria

Answer 1

After nitrogen has been fixed, other bacteria convert it into nitrate, in a process known as nitrification. In the first step of this process, Nitrosomonas convert ammonia into nitrite, and in the secondstep, nitrite is converted into nitrate, by Nitrobacter. This nitrate is then consumed by plants.
