Match the following concerning essential elements and their functions in plants.
| Column I | Column II |
|---|---|
| (a) Iron | (i) Photolysis of water |
| (b) Zinc | (ii) Pollen germination |
| (c) Boron | (iii) Required for chlorophyll biosynthesis |
| (d) Manganese | (iv) IAA biosynthesis |
To solve this problem, we need to match the essential elements with their functions in plants. Let's analyze each element:a. Iron: - Iron is crucial for the biosynthesis of chlorophyll. It acts as a catalyst in the formation of chlorophyll molecules. - This matches with iii. Required for chlorophyll biosynthesis.b. Zinc: - Zinc is involved in the biosynthesis of Indole Acetic Acid (IAA), a type of auxin, which is a plant hormone. - This matches with iv. IAA biosynthesis.c. Boron: - Boron is essential for pollen germination and growth of pollen tubes. - This matches with ii. Pollen germination.d. Manganese: - Manganese plays a role in the photolysis of water during photosynthesis, which is part of the light-dependent reactions. - This matches with i. Photolysis of water.Now, let's match the items from the list:This corresponds to Option 2.
