← Nature & AnimalsWhich process results when root nodules exceed nitrogen needs?
A)Ammonia assimilation is downregulated✓
B)Photosynthetic rate increases rapidly
C)Root respiration ceases entirely
D)Phloem transport shuts completely
💡 Explanation
When root nodules produce excess fixed nitrogen, ammonia assimilation downregulates to prevent toxicity; because nitrogen fixation becomes too costly, rather than increasing photosynthesis. Root respiration and phloem function remain relatively constant under such conditions; therefore A is correct.
