Given below are two statements, one labelled as Assertion (A) and other one labelled as Reason (R).
Assertion (A): Organic-S is made available to plants under aerobic upland conditions by mineralization into sulphates by S-oxidizing bacteria such as Thiobacillus.
Reason (R): Mineralization of organic-S results in production of \(H^+\) ions leading to the acidification of soil.
In light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below.

What will be the porosity when a soil has its bulk density and particle density of \(1.50\ Mg/m^3\) and \(2.65\ Mg/m^3\), respectively?

If the weight of soil is 1.0 g, amount of potassium dichromate (1 N) is 10 ml, volume of ferrous ammonium sulphate (0.5 N) solution required for blank titration is 20.1 ml and volume of ferrous ammonium sulphate (0.5 N) solution required for soil sample titration is 17.4 ml, then the organic carbon content (%) in soil will be:

Given below are two statements:
Statement (I): Molybdenum is a component of nitrate reductase, nitrogenase, xanthine oxidase/dehydrogenase and sulphite oxidase.
Statement (II): The critical concentration of molybdenum-deficiency in plants is usually more than 0.1 ppm and its deficiencies resemble the N-deficiencies.
In light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below.

The functions of zinc are:

(A) It is involved in the synthesis of indole acetic acid, metabolism of gibberellic acid and synthesis of RNA.

(B) It is a constituent of enzymes such as carbonic anhydrase (CA), alcoholic dehydrogenase and superoxide dismutase (SOD).

(C) Because of its preferential binding to sulphydryl group, Zn plays an important role in the stabilization and structural orientation of the membrane proteins.

(D) It influences translocation and transportation of P in plants. Under Zn-deficiency, poor translocation of P occurs, resulting in P-deficiency.
