Question

Match the following and choose the correct combination from the options given:
$\begin{array}{cc}List-I& List-II\\ \text{a. Photolysis of water}& \text{1. Zinc}\\ \text{b. Diazotrophy}& \text{2. Copper}\\ \text{c. Cytochrome c oxidase}& 3.\text{Manganese}\\ \text{d. Biosynthesis of IAA}& \text{4. Molybdenum}\\ & 5.Boron\end{array}$

• A. a – 3, b – 2, c – 1, d – 5
• B. a – 3, b – 4, c – 2, d – 1
• C. a – 5, b – 2, c – 3, d – 4
• D. a – 4, b – 1, c – 3, d – 2

Answer 1

The correct option is B

a – 3, b – 4, c – 2, d – 1

Manganese is involved in the breaking down the water molecule during photosynthesis.
Diazotrophy is the ability to fix atmospheric nitrogen into a biologically useful form. This is done with the help of the nitrogenase enzyme, which requires an iron-molybdenum cofactor.
Cytochrome c oxidase contains a copper center consisting of 2 copper atoms.
Zinc is required for the synthesis of auxins. Indole 3 acetic acid (IAA) is a prominent auxin.
