Question
- A. Plants need nitrate ions absorbed from the soil to produce proteins.
- B. Students often confuse the role of nitrate ions in protein synthesis, thinking they are produced by the plant rather than absorbed from the soil.
- C. It is not correct that plants need nitrate ions absorbed from the soil to produce proteins.
- D. The idea only requires memorising the topic title for Photosynthesis.
Answer
A student should select Plants need nitrate ions absorbed from the soil to produce proteins. It would help a student apply the idea in a biologically accurate way.
Explanation
This application question rewards answers that keep the biology precise. Choose Plants need nitrate ions absorbed from the soil to produce proteins. because it fits the approved curriculum point and can be applied without changing the science. If you follow students often confuse the role of nitrate ions in protein synthesis, thinking they are produced by the plant rather than absorbed from the soil, you move away from the required idea.
Common mistake
Nitrate Ion Misunderstanding
Students often confuse the role of nitrate ions in protein synthesis, thinking they are produced by the plant rather than absorbed from the soil.
