Question

Conversion of organic nitrogenous compounds into ammonium compound is called:

• A. Nitrification
• B. Ammonification
• C. Dentrification
• D. Denaturation

Answer 1

The correct option is B Ammonification

Formation of ammonia from the organic nitrogenous compounds is called as ammonification. The dead remains of plants and animals contribute to the source of amonification. It is an important step in the nitrogen cycle. Nitrification is the process of conversion of ammonia into nitrate ions through nitrites.

So, the correct answer is option B.
