The correct Answer is:
To solve the question of selecting the incorrect statement regarding plant physiology, specifically in the context of micronutrients and their roles, we can analyze each statement one by one. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Statement Analysis**: - **Statement 1**: "Zinc ion is needed for auxin synthesis." - **Evaluation**: Zinc is indeed a micronutrient that plays a role in various metabolic processes, including the synthesis of auxins, which are important plant hormones. This statement is **true**. 2. **Statement 2**: "Iron is an activator for catalase enzyme." - **Evaluation**: Iron is required by plants in the form of ferric ions (Fe3+) and is known to be an activator for the catalase enzyme, which helps in breaking down hydrogen peroxide. This statement is also **true**. 3. **Statement 3**: "Potassium is required in more abundant amounts in meristematic tissue, buds, leaves, and root tips." - **Evaluation**: Potassium is essential for various physiological functions in plants, including maintaining turgidity and facilitating the opening and closing of stomata. This statement is **true**. 4. **Statement 4**: "Calcium ions and chloride ions are mainly related to cation and ion balance." - **Evaluation**: While calcium ions are important for cell wall structure and signaling, and chloride ions play a role in photosynthesis and osmotic balance, they do not primarily maintain cation and ion balance in the same way potassium does. Therefore, this statement is **incorrect**. ### Conclusion: The incorrect statement is **Statement 4**: "Calcium ions and chloride ions are mainly related to cation and ion balance." ---
