Biological fixation of nitrogen is helped by
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer:
Option
D
The biological fixation of nitrogen is helped by Molybdenum.
Molybdenum (Mo), an essential micronutrient, plays an important role in nitrogen (N) metabolism and protein synthesis in plants.
During symbiotic N fixation, Mo acts as a cofactor for nitrogenase enzymes to catalyze the redox reaction to convert elemental N into ammonium (NH4+) ions.
