Answer:

The biological nitrogen fixation is carried out by some bacteria, cyanobacteria and symbiotic bacteria. In symbiotic association, the bacterium provides fixed nitrogen (NH3) to the host and derives carbohydrates and other nutrients from the latter.

Biological nitrogen fixation occurs in the presence of the enzyme nitrogenase which is found inside the nitrogen fixing prokaryote. In addition to this enzyme, a source of reducing equivalents (ferredoxin (Fd) or flavodoxin in vivo), ATP and protons are required.

svetoff [14.1K]

Aerobic and anaerobic respiration each have advantages under specific conditions. Aerobic respiration produces far more ATP, but risks exposure to oxygen toxicity. Anaerobic respiration is less energy-efficient, but allows survival in habitats which lack oxygen.
