Vedclass · Answer

(A) Molybdenum $(Mo)$ is a crucial component of the enzyme nitrate reductase,which is responsible for the reduction of nitrate to ammonia in plants. If nitrate is the primary source of nitrogen,a deficiency in $Mo$ prevents this conversion,leading to nitrogen deficiency symptoms. Additionally,$Mo$ is a component of nitrogenase,an enzyme essential for symbiotic nitrogen fixation in legumes. Therefore,$Mo$ deficiency indirectly causes nitrogen deficiency.
