Step 1

The above reaction is the net result of a series of coupled reactions. Reduce nitrogen in the form of NH₄⁺ can be assimilated first into amino acids and then into other nitrogen-containing biomolecules. Glutamate and glutamine provide a critical entry point.

ATP is the thing cell goes to if it wants to store energy or to transport energy or to extract energy and use it for something else.
