One of the enzyme that are involve in the ammonium assimilation is Asparagine synthetase (AS), some statements given below about AS such as,

a) This enzyme that catalyzes this reaction, is found in the cytosol of leaves and roots and in nitrogen-fixing nodules

b) High levels of light and carbohydrate inhibit the expression of genes coding for AS and the activity of the enzyme

c) Conditions of ample energy stimulate AS, thus they favor nitrogen assimilation into glutamine and glutamate

d) Energy-limited conditions inhibit GS and GOGAT, stimulate AS, and thus favor nitrogen assimilation into asparagine, a compound that is rich in nitrogen and sufficiently stable for long-distance transport or long term storage

Which of the following statements about AS is correct?

Chickadees were given an opportunity to store seeds in 72 possible storage sites consisting of holes drilled in small trees that had been placed in an aviary. Typically, the seeds were placed in only 4 or 5 storage sites. The chickadees were then removed from the aviary, the seeds removed from the storage sites, and each hole covered. A day later, the chickadees were returned to the aviary and they spent nearly 5 times as long pulling at the covers on storage sites than at the covers on sites where they had not stored food. This experiment indicates that chickadees
