Based on your knowledge of plant nutrition and metabolism, which process would you expect not to be affected by a deficiency in iron?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Glycolysis is a metabolic pathway that converts glucose into pyruvate, releasing energy and pyruvate in the process. It occurs in the cytosol of the cell and does not directly require iron for its enzymes to function, unlike processes such as chlorophyll synthesis, photosynthesis, and electron transfer which are directly affected by iron availability. Cellular respiration, particularly the electron transport chain, also relies on iron-containing proteins for electron transfer, making glycolysis the process not directly impacted by iron deficiency.
