Which of the following is function of Molybdenum?

  • A
    Activates carboxylase enzyme
  • B
    Required for uptake and utilisation of $\text{Ca}^{2+}$
  • Correct answer
    C
    Activates enzyme in the nitrogen metabolism
  • D
    Activates enzyme in phosphate metabolism

Solution

Molybdenum is a micronutrient that acts as a component of several enzymes, including nitrogenase and nitrate reductase. Both of these enzymes participate in nitrogen metabolism.

Zinc activates carboxylase enzymes.

Boron is required for the uptake and utilisation of $\text{Ca}^{2+}$.

Answer: Activates enzyme in the nitrogen metabolism

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
