#macronutrients in plants

Macronutrients are required approximately in:

1000 mg/kg dry matter (C) is correct here. This is core MINERAL Transport: once you know the definition or pathway step, 1000 mg/kg dry matter is the clear fit. The wrong ones are A) 100 mg/kg dry matter; B) 10 mg/kg dry matter; D) 1 mg/kg dry matter. If the topic is about gradients or potentials, water/solutes move from higher to lower of the relevant quantity.

Primary macronutrients required in highest amount by plants are:

Pick B: N, P, K. Thinking through MINERAL Transport step by step rules out the lookalikes and leaves N, P, K. Skip these: A) Ca, Mg, S; C) Fe, Mn, Zn; D) B, Mo, Cl. For hormones and genes, match the molecule or gene to its real role, not a neighboring pathway.
