Plants require nutrients for proper growth and development. There are 16 elements which are required for plant and are termed as essential elements. They are as follows:
Carbon (C), Hydrogen (H), Oxygen (O), Nitrogen (N), Phosphorus (P), Sulphur (S), Potassium (K), Magnesium (Mg), Calcium (Ca), Iron (Fe), Copper (Cu), Boron (B), Zinc (Zn), Manganese (Mn), Molybdenum (Mo) and Chlorine (Cl).
The essential elements are categorised into 2 groups,
Leghaemoglobin helps in
imparting colour to floral petals
protecting nitrogenase from O2
destroying bacteria
transport of food in plants
Assertion : Plants absorb sulphur in the form of sulphate ions.
Reason : Sulphur bacteria are required for the formation of sulphate.
If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion
If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion
If assertion is true but reason is false
If both assertion and reason are false
The function of leghaemoglobin during biological nitrogen fixation in root nodules of legumes is to
convert atmospheric N2 to NH3
convert ammonia to nitrite
transport oxygen for activity of nitrogenase
protect nitrogenase from oxygen
