Question

Boron assists in

• A. Activation of enzymes
• B. Photosynthesis
• C. Sugar transport
• D. Acting as enzyme cofactor

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

Sugar transport

Boron is a micronutrient required by the plant in a small amount. It is absorbed by the plant in the form of Boron ions. It is required for uptake and utilization of Ca+. It is necessary for membrane functioning, pollen germination, cell elongation and cell differentiation. It is also required for sugar translocation through the phloem.

So the correct is 'Sugar transport'.
