Which metabolic limitation emerges in legumes when molybdenum bioavailability decreases in nitrogenous soil?

A)Reduced chlorophyll synthesis
B)Cellulose digestion failure
C)Impaired nitrogen fixation
D)Increased starch accumulation

💡 Explanation

Impaired nitrogen fixation occurs because molybdenum acts as a crucial cofactor for the enzyme nitrogenase. Nitrogenase catalyzes atmospheric nitrogen, therefore molybdenum deficiency prevents this mechanism and proper nitrogen assimilation; rather than alternatives like starch impacts, which do not directly rely on molybdenum’s function.
