The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding which element's deficiency symptoms first appear in older tissues, we need to analyze the options provided: nitrogen, calcium, potassium, and magnesium. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Mobile vs. Immobile Elements:** - Mobile elements are those whose deficiency symptoms first appear in older tissues. This is because they can be translocated from older to younger tissues. - Immobile elements are those whose deficiency symptoms first appear in younger tissues. They cannot be moved from older tissues to younger ones. 2. **Identifying the Elements:** - **Nitrogen (Option A):** Nitrogen is a mobile element. Its deficiency symptoms first appear in older tissues. - **Calcium (Option B):** Calcium is an immobile element. Its deficiency symptoms first appear in younger tissues. - **Potassium (Option C):** Potassium is also a mobile element. Its deficiency symptoms first appear in older tissues. - **Magnesium (Option D):** Magnesium is a mobile element as well. Its deficiency symptoms first appear in older tissues. 3. **Analyzing the Options:** - From the analysis, we see that: - Nitrogen (A) - Mobile (incorrect) - Calcium (B) - Immobile (correct) - Potassium (C) - Mobile (incorrect) - Magnesium (D) - Mobile (incorrect) 4. **Conclusion:** - The element whose deficiency symptoms first appear in younger tissues (and thus is the exception in the context of the question) is **Calcium (Option B)**. ### Final Answer: The correct answer is **Option B: Calcium**. ---
