Assertion (A):- Some plants growing in rich soils can obtain their nitrogen from insects.
Reason R): - Bacteria inhabiting the root system of Fabaceae plants can fix atmosphere nitrogen.
The correct option among the following is:

Study the following illustration of nitrogen cycle and identify and in it.


Assertion Free-living bacteria such as Rhizobium and Frankia can help in the biological fixation of dinitrogen in the roots of angiospermous plants.
Reason Prokaryotes exclusively contain nitrogenase enzyme which can catalyze the oxidation reaction of dinitrogen to glutamate.
The correct answer is:


The nitrogen cycle is given below. Identify A and B in it.
