Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The number of ATP equivalents consumed per N atom of ammonium formed needs to be determined.
Concept Introduction :
A molecule of GTP has a quantity of energy needed in its triphosphate cluster that is corresponding to the quantity of energy in the triphosphate cluster of a molecule of adenosine triphosphate. Those molecules have identical quantity of energy; however, they are not equivalent molecules.
(b)
Interpretation:
The nitrogen fixation pathway needs to be explained.
Concept Introduction :
Nitrogen fixation could be a method by that the nitrogen atom within the air is reborn into ammonia (NH3) or diazotrophs; the nitrogen’s-generated ammonia is assimilated into salt through the aminoalkanoic acid synthetase/glutamate synthase pathway.
