The correct Answer is:
To analyze the statements provided in the question, we will evaluate each one step by step. ### Step 1: Evaluate Statement (a) **Statement:** Moderate decrease of increase on micronutrients causes deficiency and toxicity symptoms respectively. **Explanation:** Micronutrients are essential elements required in trace amounts by plants. A slight decrease in their concentration can lead to deficiency symptoms, while a slight increase can cause toxicity symptoms. This is because plants have a narrow range of optimal concentrations for micronutrients. Therefore, this statement is **correct**. ### Step 2: Evaluate Statement (b) **Statement:** Excess of manganese causes toxicity of iron, calcium, and molybdenum. **Explanation:** Excess manganese can indeed lead to the inhibition of the uptake of other essential nutrients, particularly iron and calcium. However, molybdenum is not typically affected in the same way. Instead, magnesium is more relevant in this context. Therefore, this statement is **incorrect**. ### Step 3: Evaluate Statement (c) **Statement:** A macronutrient is said to be toxic when present below a critical concentration. **Explanation:** Macronutrients are required in larger quantities, and they do not typically exhibit toxicity when present below a certain concentration. Instead, deficiency symptoms may occur. Therefore, this statement is **incorrect**. ### Conclusion Based on the evaluations: - Statement (a) is correct. - Statement (b) is incorrect. - Statement (c) is incorrect. Thus, the correct answer is that only statement (a) is true. ---

Assertion: The prominent symptom of manganese toxicity is the appearance of brown spots surrounded by chlorotic veins. Reason: Excess of maganese may induce deficiencies of iron, magnesium and calcium.

Pollutants are the substances which present in the environment in greater proportion than its natural abundance and resulting in harmful or deterimental effect on the quality of environment. Generally highly toxic substances are considered . Generally highly toxic even substances that are normally considered harmless can cause pollution if they are present in underirable concentration. Over exploitation of natural resourses uncontrolled mechanisation deforestation and extensive use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides have brought about many changes in different component of the environment . Acid rain is due to the increase in the concentration of . . . . . . . in the atmospheres

A : Maganese toxicity cause brown spots ,chlorotic veins and inhibintion of calcium translocation to shoot apex. R : Toxic effects may be due to direct excess of micronutrients or its interference in the absorbtion and functioning of other nutrients.
