← Nature & AnimalsWhich outcome occurs when molybdenum availability limits dinitrogen fixation in cyanobacteria?
A)Reduced heterocyst differentiation and activity✓
B)Increased phycocyanin pigment biosynthesis
C)Enhanced glycogen storage capacity arises
D)Accelerated reactive oxygen species detoxification
💡 Explanation
Dinitrogenase enzyme requires molybdenum, therefore its limitation impairs dinitrogen fixation activity, driving reduced heterocyst formation because they support this activity, rather than increasing pigment, storing energy, or detoxification.
