← ScienceWhich outcome results when nitrogen fixation is inhibited?
A)Reduced plant protein synthesis rates✓
B)Increased atmospheric nitrogen release
C)Enhanced soil phosphorus availability
D)Accelerated silicate mineral weathering
💡 Explanation
Inhibition of nitrogen fixation reduces bioavailable nitrogen; therefore, protein synthesis decreases rather than atmospheric nitrogen release, because the nitrogen cycle depends on nitrogenase enzymatic action utilizing covalent bond breaking as a critical step.
