Iron deficiency in plants often leads to interveinal chlorosis. Considering the role of iron in electron transport and chlorophyll synthesis, which statement BEST explains this observation?
Iron is a key component of the electron transport chain, and its deficiency disrupts energy production needed for chlorophyll synthesis in the interveinal areas.
Iron is essential for chlorophyll synthesis, and its deficiency leads to reduced chlorophyll production, primarily in the interveinal areas.
Iron deficiency primarily affects the vascular tissue of the leaves, leading to reduced chlorophyll transport to the interveinal areas.
Iron deficiency enhances chlorophyll degradation in the interveinal areas, leading to chlorosis.
