Answer to Question #350263 in Cell Biology for BLESSED

Question

Describe the effects of decreasing the concentration of magnesium salt on the

growth of S. polyrhiza.

Answer 1

Magnesium (Mg) affects various important physiological and biochemical processes in s.polyrhiza, and its deficiency impedes the growth and development of plants.

Magnesium is the central nucleus of the chlorophyll molecule in s.polyrhiza tissue. Thus, if there is Mg deficiency, chlorophyll deficiency leads to weak and slow development of s.polyrhiza. Magnesium helps activate growth enzymes, including special enzyme systems. As a result of its deficiency, the growth and development of s.polyrhiza decreases
