Question

Some of the nitrogen travels as inorganic ions, but the bulk of it is carried in the organic form as amino acids and related compounds.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A

True

Xylem sap analysis reveals that nitrogen is primarily transported as amino acids and related compounds, in an organic form. And very little is transported in its inorganic form as nitrates or minerals. Therefore xylem also contains organic solutes and other compounds.
