Question
According to the current dominant hypothesis, what is the main role of molybdenum in It serves as the active site where molecular nitrogen binds directly to molybdenum. It plays a structural role keeping the P-clusters adjacent to one another. It serves as electron donor/acceptor during the reduction of molecular nitrogen. It carries electrons between the Fe_4S_4 center in the Fe-protein and P-clusters. It catalyzes the transformation of ATP to ADP which provides the energy needed for the reduction of nitrogen.Explanation / Answer
The mai role of molybdenum in nitrogenase is ,it catalyst the transformation of ATP to ADP which provides the energy needed for the reduction of nitrogen(expecially primary nitrogen)
Therefore last option is correct.
