Which outcome during phosphorus starvation triggers nitrogen fixation enzymes?

A)Downregulation ribosomal RNA transcription
B)Enhanced root hydraulic conductivity
C)Increased leaf stomatal conductance
D)Upregulation of glycolysis enzymes

💡 Explanation

Phosphorus starvation reduces available ATP, leading to downregulation of ribosome synthesis using nitrogen; because nitrogen demand for new ribosomes declines, nitrogen fixation upregulates to utilize excess, producing ammonia rather than lacking usable forms. Downregulation prevents resource waste, therefore benefiting the whole cell.
