Conversion of ammonium into nitrates is:
Correct answer: A. Nitrification
- A. Nitrification
- B. Nitrogen Fixation
- C. Ammonification
- D. Denitrification
Explanation
Nitrosomonas convert ammonia into nitrates by a process called nitrification. Nitrogen fixation is a process by which molecular nitrogen in the air is converted into ammonia. Ammonification refers to any chemical reaction in which NH2 groups are converted into ammonia or its ionic form, ammonium (NH4+), as an end product.Denitrification is the microbial process of reducing nitrate and nitrite to gaseous forms of nitrogen, principally nitrous oxide (N2O) and nitrogen (N2)
