Asked in ETEA MDCAT 2019 2019

All of the following are macronutrient except

Correct answer: A. Cu ions

  • A. Cu ions
  • B. Ca ions
  • C. Mg ions
  • D. K ions

Explanation

The correct answer is Cu ions. Macronutrients are elements required in large quantities for plant growth. Copper, calcium, magnesium, and potassium are all essential nutrients for plants, but copper is classified as a micronutrient, not a macronutrient. The other options, Ca ions, Mg ions, and K ions, are all macronutrients.

About Plant Nutrition and Transport

Plants require macronutrients and micronutrients for growth, and mineral deficiencies produce recognizable symptoms. Transport involves water and minerals through xylem by transpiration pull, cohesion and adhesion, while phloem translocates sugars from sources to sinks. Root pressure and transpiration are distinct mechanisms.
