Question

    Urease is an important enzyme involved in nitrogen

    metabolism in plants, helping to convert urea into usable nitrogen compounds. Which nutrient is essential for the proper activity of urease and overall nitrogen metabolism in plants?
    A Nickel Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Zinc Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Magnesium Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Iron Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E Molybdenum Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Nickel is critical for the activation of the enzyme urease, which plays a key role in nitrogen metabolism by breaking down urea into ammonia and carbon dioxide. Without sufficient nickel, urease activity is impaired, affecting nitrogen assimilation in plants.
