I would like some help with these questions, there are no solutions in my work book so I don’t know if I’ve done it correctly!
Name or describe a process or an example of a process concerning nitrogen that correspond to the questions below. Name what form and oxidation number the nitrogen has in every quesiton.
a) Nitrogen works as a terminal (dissimilatory) electron acceptor. Name two possible electron donors as well as the carbon source. Also, name the energy source (energy from photons or chemical bonds), electron donor (from inorganic or organic compounds) and carbon source (inorganic or organic C) for this process.
b) Nitrogen works as an assimilatory electron acceptor. Name what the electron donor could be as well as the carbon source. Also, name the energy source (energy from photons or chemical bonds), electron donor (from inorganic or organic compounds) and carbon source (inorganic or organic C) for this process.
c) Nitrogen works as an electron donator. Name three possible electron acceptors as well as the carbon source. Also, name the energy source (energy from photons or chemical bonds), electron donor (from inorganic or organic compounds) and carbon source (inorganic or organic C) for this process.
Requirements: Describing and illustrating the reactions clearly so that I understand! 🙂
