The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the nutrient element based on the given functions, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Functions of Nutrient Elements**: - The question lists four functions: - (i) Important constituents of proteins involved in the electron transport system (ETS). - (ii) Activator of catalase. - (iii) Important constituent of cytochrome. - (iv) Essential for chlorophyll synthesis. 2. **Analyze Each Function**: - **Function (i)**: The electron transport system involves proteins that often contain metal ions. One of the key elements involved in this process is iron, which is a constituent of proteins like ferredoxin. - **Function (ii)**: Catalase is an enzyme that breaks down hydrogen peroxide, and iron is known to activate this enzyme. - **Function (iii)**: Cytochromes are proteins that contain heme groups, which include iron as a central atom, making it essential for their function. - **Function (iv)**: Iron is also essential for the synthesis of chlorophyll, along with magnesium. 3. **Conclude the Nutrient Element**: - Based on the analysis, the nutrient that fits all these functions is **iron**. It plays a crucial role in the electron transport system, activates catalase, is a constituent of cytochromes, and is essential for chlorophyll synthesis. ### Final Answer: The concerned nutrient is **iron**. ---
