Test: Deficiency Symptoms of Essential Elements & Toxicity of Micronutrients (Old NCERT) - JAMB MCQ

Calcium is not remonilized from the leaves to the fruits, like potassium, phosphorus and sulphur. It occurs abundantly in a non-exchangeable form such as anorthite (CaAl₂Si₂O₈).

During noncyclic electron flow the electron hole in P-680 is filled by electrons obtained by photolysis of water. As a result, there is an evolution of oxygen and the electron move through Mn-protein bound to PS II. In this transport Mn++ is oxidised to Mn+++ and then reduced to Mn++in a cyclic manner. The manganese thus transfers electrons from water to photosystem II and thus plays an important role in electron transport in the process of photosynthesis.

So, the correct answer is option B.
