NH4+ is toxic to plants, inhibit dinitrogenase and also interfere energy metabolism by dissociating ATP formation from ETC in both mitochondria and chloroplasts. What will plant cells do to avoid this problem?
a) Plant cells avoid ammonium toxicity by rapidly converting the ammonium generated from nitrate assimilation or photorespiration into nitrate
b) Plant cells avoid ammonium toxicity by rapidly converting the ammonium generated from nitrate assimilation or photorespiration into amino acids
c) The pathway for this conversion involves the sequential actions of glutamine synthetase (GS) and glutamate synthase (GOGAT)
d) The pathway for this conversion involves the sequential actions of Aspartate aminotransferase (Asp-AT) and Asparagine synthetase (AS)
Which of the above statements is incorrect?

Ammonium can be assimilated via an alternative pathway rather than primary pathway which involves the sequential actions of glutamine synthetase(GS) and glutamate synthase(GOGAT), these alternative pathway catalyzes by enzyme known as,
