← ScienceWhich consequence results when atmospheric molecular nitrogen becomes chemically fixed?
A)Increased plant growth, enhanced eutrophication✓
B)Decreased soil acidity, stimulated denitrification
C)Reduced ozone creation, declined photosynthesis
D)Inhibited protein synthesis, plant necrosis
💡 Explanation
Nitrogen fixation converts inert N₂ into reactive forms (NH₃), leading to increased plant growth because the mechanism is nitrogen assimilation within plants utilizing those reactive species. Therefore, increased nitrogen enhances eutrophication in aquatic systems, rather than directly inhibiting plant function under normal atmospheric conditions.
