A.
Typtophan synthesis
B.
Ascorbic acid synthesis
C.
Nitrate reduction
AnswerD.
Translocation of solutes
Answer: Option C
Solution
Answer: Option C
Solution:
Molybdenum is involved in plant metabolism in Nitrate reduction.Molybdenum nutrition is an essential component of healthy plant growth. Molybdate which is the predominant form available to plants is required at very low levels where it is known to participate in various redox reactions in plants as part of the pterin complex Moco.
Molybdenum (Mo), an essential micronutrient, plays an important role in nitrogen (N) metabolism and protein synthesis in plants. During symbiotic N fixation, Mo acts as a cofactor for nitrogenase enzymes to catalyze the redox reaction to convert elemental N into ammonium (NH4+) ions.
