Metabolism of Nitrogen

Question

How many nitrogen molecules are required for the synthesis of 8 ammonia molecules during nitrogen fixation?

Easy

A

1 nitrogen molecules
B

2 nitrogen molecules
C

4 nitrogen molecules
D

8 nitrogen molecules

Solution

$N_{2} + 8 e^{-} + 8 H^{+} + 16 ATP \to 2 {NH}_{3} + H_{2} + 16 ADP + 16 P_{1}$
1 molecule of nitrogen is used to produce 2 molecules of ammonia. Therefore, to produce 8 molecules of nitrogen there is the requirement of 4 molecules of nitrogen.
