| Internal Name | nitrogenfixingplastid |
Performs Anaerobic Nitrogen Fixation to produce Ammonia 
from gaseous Nitrogen 
and ATP 
, producing one of the components of growth for cellular reproduction. More efficient than the prokaryotic Nitrogenase.
Requirements
A cell must have a Nucleus to evolve Nitroplasts.
Processes
Aerobic Nitrogen Fixation
Fixes atmospheric Nitrogen into Ammonia by expending energy. Rate scales with the amount of environmental Nitrogen and Oxygen 
. More efficient than the equivalent process in Nitrogenase.
Modifications
No modifications.
Effects
No effects.
Upgrades
No upgrades.
Strategy
We recommend replacing Nitrogenase with Nitrogen-Fixing Plastids when your cell develops a Nucleus, as the latter can more efficiently generate resources needed for reproduction.
As with Nitrogenase, Nitrogen-Fixing Plastids are a sensible choice if you have ATP to spare. Creating reproduction resources yourself removes a limiting factor on your ability to progress through generations more quickly.
Scientific Background
Nitroplasts have been shown to have evolved from endosymbionts in eukaryotic cells.
