Solution:
For the formation of each NH3 by nitrogen fixation, there is requirement of 8 ATP. Hence for the formation of 5 NH3, there is utilisation of 5 X 8 = 40 ATP.
How many ATP are consumed for the formation of 5 NH3 during nitrogen fixation mediated by nitrogenase?
For the formation of each NH3 by nitrogen fixation, there is requirement of 8 ATP. Hence for the formation of 5 NH3, there is utilisation of 5 X 8 = 40 ATP.
