Why the nitrogenase enzymes catalyzes the nitrogen fixation reaction only in microanaerobic or anaerobic conditions?

#Unit 6. System Physiology – Plant

O2 form ROS (reactive oxygen species) that inhibits the enzyme nitrogenase
Oxygen, being a strong electron acceptor, can damage these sites and irreversibly inactivate nitrogenase, so nitrogen must be fixed under anaerobic conditions
Because lack a PSI, the oxygen-producing photosystem of chloroplasts, so they do not generate oxygen
nitrogenase enzymes only active in anaerobic environment and inhibit in the aerobic environment due to O2

Choose the correct statement of the following

a. In general, high acetyl-CoA or citrate are present, or when a high proportion of the cell’s adenylate is in the form of ATP, gluconeogenesis is favored.

b. When the level of AMP increases, it promotes glycolysis by stimulating PFK-1 by inhibiting FBPase-1

c. Phosphorylation of fructose 6-phosphate, catalysed by phosphofructokinase-2 (PFK-2)

d. Glucagon increases the cellular level of fructose 2,6 bisphosphate, stimulating glycolysis and inhibiting gluconeogenesis.

Choose the correct statement

a. Hexokinases IV remains sequesters in the nucleus in case of high F-6-P and high ATP

b. Hexokinases IV remains sequesters in the cytoplasm in case of high F-6-P and high ATP

c. Hexokinase requires Mg+2 for its activity, because the true substrate of the enzyme is not ATP4- but the MgATP2- complex.

d. Hexokinase requires Mg+2 for its activity, because the true substrate of the enzyme is MgATP4- but not the MgATP2- complex.
