Nodulated root is the character of the pea family or leguminosae family because nodules are found for nitrogen fixation. The host plant developed specialized organs called root nodules. The host plants are mostly legumes in which symbiotic microorganism, generally a diazotrophic bacterium, reduces to ammonium. Nodulation is a host-specific process with each rhizobium having defined host-plant range.

Test: Metabolism of Nitrogen (Old NCERT) - Question 15

If by radiation all nitrogenase enzyme is inactivated, then there will be no

Detailed Solution for Test: Metabolism of Nitrogen (Old NCERT) - Question 15

The enzyme nitrogenase is a Mo-Fe protein and catalyses the conversion of atmospheric N2 to NH3. If this enzyme is inactivated, then there will be no fixation of nitrogen in legumes.

Test: Metabolism of Nitrogen (Old NCERT) - Question 16

N2-fixing blue-green alga Anabaena which is extensively used in rice cultivation, forms symbiotic association with

Detailed Solution for Test: Metabolism of Nitrogen (Old NCERT) - Question 16

Symbiotic assiciation has been found between Anabaena (blue green alga) and Azolla (a water fern). Azolla pinnata has anabeana azollae in its fronds. It is often inoculated to rice fields for nitrogen fixationl. It is an efficient fertiliser of paddy fierlds. Estimates of the annual quantities of N2 fixed by Azolla range between 120 and 312 kg nitrogen per hactare.

Test: Metabolism of Nitrogen (Old NCERT) - Question 17

Detailed Solution for Test: Metabolism of Nitrogen (Old NCERT) - Question 17

It is the enzyme nitrogenase which is a Mo-Fe protein not leghaemoglobin.

Test: Metabolism of Nitrogen (Old NCERT) - Question 18

Refer to the given reaction. What does it depict?

Detailed Solution for Test: Metabolism of Nitrogen (Old NCERT) - Question 18

Transamination is  very important reaction for amino acid biosynthesis. The reaction involves transfer of amino group from already synthesized amino acid to the keto acid. The reaction is catalyzed by enzymes called transaminases. A large number of amino acids are synthesized by this transamination reaction. Amino acids are organic molecules containing nitorgen. The incorporation of amino group from ammonium into keto acids represents the major step for synthesis of nitrogenous organic biomolecules.

Thus, the correct answer is 'Transamination.'

Test: Metabolism of Nitrogen (Old NCERT) - Question 20

The cofactor of nitrate reductase Is

Detailed Solution for Test: Metabolism of Nitrogen (Old NCERT) - Question 20

Reduction of nitrate to nitrite is carried out by the agency of an inducible enzyme called nitrate reductase. The enzyme is a molybdoflavoprotein (with a cofactor Mo). It requires a reduced coenzyme (NADH or NADPH) for its activity. The reduced coenzyme is brought in contact with nitrate by FAD or FMN.

Test: Metabolism of Nitrogen (Old NCERT) - Question 21

Read the following statements and select the incorrect ones.
(i) The co-ordinated activities of the legume and Rhizobium bacteria depend on chemical interactions between the symbiotic partners.
(ii) Leguminous roots secrete chemical attractants that attract Rhizobium bacteria living nearby.
(iii) N, P and K usually do not get deficient in soil due to their low plant requirement.
(iv) Nitrogen cycle is regular circulation of nitrogen amongst living organisms with its reservoir pool in lithosphere and cycling pool in atmosphere.

Detailed Solution for Test: Metabolism of Nitrogen (Old NCERT) - Question 21

Nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and potassium (K) are referred to as critical elements for crop plants because they become easily deficient in the soil due to higher plant requirement and repeated cultivation. Nitrogen cycle is regular circulation of nitrogen amongst living organisms, with its reservoir pool in atmosphere and cycling pool in lithosphere.

Detailed Solution for Test: Metabolism of Nitrogen (Old NCERT) - Question 22

Extreme of soil pH affects nodulation by reducing the colonisation of soil and the legume rhizosphere by rhizobia. Highly acidic soils (pH < 4.0) frequently have low levels of phosphorus, calcium and molybdenum and high concentration of toxic elements. While highly alkaline soils (pH > 8.0) tend to be high in sodium chloride, bicarbonate and borate, and are often associated with high salinity which reduce nitrogen fixation.
