← Nature & AnimalsWhich phenomenon results when legume nodule enzymes denature?
A)Decreased nitrogen access for the plant✓
B)Increased drought resistance to the plant
C)Enhanced phosphorus uptake efficiency occurs
D)Elevated production of fungal hyphae happens
💡 Explanation
Nodule enzymes such as nitrogenase, which catalyzes nitrogen fixation are sensitive to environmental conditions, so enzyme denaturation impairs nitrogen fixation, decreasing nitrogen availability for the host plant, therefore resulting in reduced growth rather than improved resource uptake or fungal development.
