Q.3
Soil Science- ICAR JRF/SRF 2024 (Q.45)
Match the Following +4 −1
Match List-I with List-II:

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

List - I
Nutrient element
List - II
Enzymes
A Copper Copper I Nitrogenase and nitrate reductase Nitrogenase and nitrate reductase
B Iron Iron II Ascorbic acid oxidase and polyphenol oxidase Ascorbic acid oxidase and polyphenol oxidase
C Zinc Zinc III Catalase and peroxidase Catalase and peroxidase
D Molybdenum Molybdenum IV Carbonic anhydrase and alcohol dehydrogenase Carbonic anhydrase and alcohol dehydrogenase
  • Copper (A) $\rightarrow$ Ascorbic acid oxidase & polyphenol oxidase (II): Copper acts as an essential prosthetic metal ion in cuproenzymes including plastocyanin, cytochrome c oxidase, ascorbic acid oxidase, and polyphenol oxidase involved in terminal redox cascades.
  • Iron (B) $\rightarrow$ Catalase & peroxidase (III): Iron functions as the central heme metallic cofactor in hemoprotein enzymes such as catalase and peroxidase that decompose toxic peroxides in plant cells.
  • Zinc (C) $\rightarrow$ Carbonic anhydrase & alcohol dehydrogenase (IV): Zinc is mandatory for the catalytic activity of carbonic anhydrase (interconverting $CO_2$ and $HCO_3^-$) and alcohol dehydrogenase in plant root respiration.
  • Molybdenum (D) $\rightarrow$ Nitrogenase & nitrate reductase (I): Molybdenum forms the FeMo-cofactor in nitrogenase (catalyzing symbiotic $N_2$ fixation) and the molybdopterin cofactor in nitrate reductase.
  • Conclusion: (A)-(II), (B)-(III), (C)-(IV), (D)-(I). (Correct answer: Option 2)
