Question

Given below are two statements, one is labelled as Assertion (A) and other one labelled as Reason (R).
Assertion (A) : Mobility is the overall process where by nutrients reach the root surface and sorption into plant.
Reason (R) : Mobility involves the solution or exchange of nutrients and movement to root surface.
In light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below.

• A. Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
• B. Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is NOT the correct explanation of (A).
• C. (A) is true but (R) is false.
• D. (A) is false but (R) is true.

Hint:

To understand nutrient mobility, remember that nutrients must first enter the soil solution phase (via dissolution or exchange) before they can travel to the root surface via mass flow or diffusion for uptake.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A
