Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A temporary soil nitrogen deficiency would have the least impact on the synthesis of cellulose in a mature leaf. This is because cellulose synthesis does not require nitrogen, but instead relies on glucose and other simple sugars produced during photosynthesis. In contrast, chlorophyll, DNA, RNA, and amino acids all require nitrogen to be synthesized. Therefore, a temporary nitrogen deficiency would likely have a greater impact on the synthesis of these compounds.
