nitrate uptakenitrate must enter the cells before


Nitrate Uptake

Nitrate must enter the cells before undergoing assimilatory reduction by the joint action of nitrate reductase and nitrite reductase. Cells accumulate NO-3 against concentration gradient and this accumulation is a result of the presence of active NO-3 transport system in the cell membrane.

Nitrate uptake and nitrate reduction are independent processes because organisms genetically deficient in nitrate reductase activity contain normal transport activity.
