Which change occurs when a flooded rice paddy inhibits nitrogenase?

💡 Explanation

In flooded conditions, anaerobic activity rises; nitrogenase, as a metaloenzyme mediating biological nitrogen fixation, becomes inhibited because it is oxygen-sensitive; therefore, less ammonium is available, rather than other nutrients increasing.
