#plant micronutrients

2 public questions tagged with this topic.

Which one of the following is a micronutrient of plants?

This outcome reflects plant biotechnology, where photosynthetic engineering and nutrient pathways support biofortification. Option A captures this correctly because it supports metabolic engineering in crops, consistent with textbook descriptions and experimental observations in plant biology.

Ref: Taiz et al., Plant Physiology and Development, 6th Edition, Chapter 7, Photosynthesis, discusses light reactions, Calvin cycle and metabolic engineering examples like Golden Rice providing insight into plant biotechnology.

Boron plays a role mainly in:

That points to B: Cell elongation and wall integrity. Compared with the other options, Cell elongation and wall integrity is the one that correctly describes the MINERAL Transport concept. The wrong ones are A) ATP synthesis; C) Chlorophyll formation; D) Respiration. If you’re stuck, eliminate anything that contradicts a basic fact you already know for this topic.
