Answer:
This question is incomplete as it lacks options. The options are:
A) Nitrogen will be incorporated into nucleic acids.
B) Phosphorus will be incorporated into amino acids.
C) Potassium will be incorporated into lipids.
D) Magnesium will be incorporated into carbohydrates.
The answer is A. Nitrogen will be incorporated into nucleic acids.
Explanation:
Fertilizers serve as external source of nutrients as they contain certain elements necessary for the build up of biomolecules in living organisms. According to this question, the bag of fertilizer contains the following elemental components: nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, magnesium and calcium.
These elemental components of the fertilizer will be incorporated by organisms and used to build biomolecules in their systems. The four biomolecules are carbohydrate, proteins, lipids and nucleic acid. NUCLEIC ACID is a complex biomolecule made up of simpler NUCLEOTIDE subunits. Each nucleotide is made up of a pentose sugar, phosphate group and NITROGENOUS BASE.
NITROGENOUS BASE is a base which principally contains NITROGEN in the core of its structure. Hence, nitrogen element is a vital component necessary for the formation of nucleic acids. Therefore, Nitrogen component of the fertilizer will be incorporated into nucleic acids of organisms in the area.
