A phosphoglyceride is always made up of
only a saturated fatty acid esterified to a glycerol molecule to which a phosphate group is also attached
only an unsaturated fatty acid esterified to a glycerol molecule to which a phosphate group is also attached
a saturated or unsaturated fatty acid esterified to a glycerol molecule to which a phosphate group is also attached
a saturated or unsaturated fatty acid esterified to a phosphate group, which is also attached to a glycerol molecule

The first stable product of fixation of atmospheric nitrogen in leguminous plants is
NO2-
ammonia
NO3-
glutamate
B.
ammonia
The process of conversion of nitrogen (N2) to ammonia is termed as nitrogen fixation.
(Nitrogen) N2 (Dimide) N2H2 (Hydrazine) N2H4 (Ammonia) 2NH3
2NH3 + 3O2 2NO-2 + 2H+ + 2H2O
2NO2 + O2 2NO-3
In reductive animation ammonia reacts with -ketoglutaric acid and forms glutamic acid
- ketoglutaric acid + NH+4 + NADPH Glutamate + H2O + NADP
