Match List -I with List-Il.
| List - I | List - II | ||
| (a) | Manganese | (i) | Activates the enzyme catalase |
| (b) | Magnesium | (ii) | Required for pollen germination |
| (c) | Boron | (iii) | Activates enzymes of respiration |
| (d) | Iron | (iv) | Functions in splitting of water during photosynthesis |
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Options
- A(a) — (iv), (b) — (iii), (c) — (ii), (d) — (i)
- B(a) - (iv), (b) - (i), (c) - (ii), (d) - (iii)
- C(a) — (iii), (b) — (i), (c) — (ii), (d) — (iv)
- D(a) - (iii), (b) - (iv), (c) - (i), (d) - (ii)
Correct answer
A. (a) — (iv), (b) — (iii), (c) — (ii), (d) — (i)
Step-by-step solution
| List - I | List - II | ||
| (a) | Manganese | (iv) | Functions in splitting of water during photosynthesis. During photolysis of water, mediated by PS-II, Mn, Cl, etc. help in breaking the water molecule and release of electron, proton, etc. |
| (b) | Magnesium | (iii) | Activates enzymes of respiration. The enzyme needed to convert glucose to glucose-6-phosphate needs the co-factor Mg+2. |
| (c) | Boron | (ii) | Required for pollen germination. The stigmatic surface provides complex sugar solution along with Boron which germinates the pollen on stigma. |
| (d) | Iron | (i) | Activates the enzyme catalase. Several enzymes like catalase and cytochrome, need cofactors like Fe, for their functioning. |
