Vedclass · Answer

(A) Sulphur is an essential element and a constituent of amino acids like $Cysteine$,$Cystine$,and $Methionine$.Sulphur is present in the soil primarily in the form of organic matter or inorganic compounds.Sulphur-oxidizing bacteria (such as $Thiobacillus$) are required to convert these forms into $SO_4^{2-}$ (sulphate ions).Plants then absorb sulphur from the soil specifically in the form of $SO_4^{2-}$ ions.Therefore,both the Assertion and the Reason are correct,and the Reason provides the correct explanation for the Assertion.
