Etiolation is a plant response to stimuli. When plant seeds are grown in insufficient light, either in partial or complete absence of light, the seedlings will have long, weak stems, smaller and fewer leaves because of longer internodes, and a pale yellow colour (chlorosis). This is due to a lack of chlorophyll. The plant’s increase in height helps it to reach a possible source of light faster.

Detailed Solution for 31 Years NEET Previous Year Questions: Mineral Nutrition - 2 (Old NCERT) - Question 24

Nitrogen is the constituent of amino acids, proteins, nucleic acids, nucleotides coenzymes, hexoamines etc. Deficiency of nitrogen repidly inhibits the plant growth and yellowing of the leaves (chlorosis) magnesium has the specific role in the activation of enzymes, taking part in photosynthesis, respiration. It also forms a part of the ring structure of the chlorophyll molecule. Deficiency of Mg causes chlorosis i.e., yellowing of leaves. Deficiency of both Nitrogen and Magnesium causes chlorosis (yellowing of leaves). Thus a plant growing in magnesium-deficient soil would show chlorosis inspite of being sprayed with urea (nitrogen).
