Nitrite reductase will convert nitrite to ammonium. There are two types of nitrite reductase characteristics given below;
a) Both nitrite reductase consist of a single 63kD polypeptide
b) In leaf chloroplasts and root plastids contain different forms of the nitrite reductase enzyme
c) In shoot nitrite reductase directly dependent on the light reaction by the ferredoxin, it activates nitrite reductase in choloroplast
d) NADPH in the roots is provided by pentose phosphate pathway, it also activate nitrite reductase in the plastids
Which of the correct statement about nitrite reductase characteristics?

Nitrate reductase is an important enzyme for nitrate assimilation. Given below some regulation of nitrate reductase activity through phosphorylation and dephosphorylation.
a) Light, and other environmental factors stimulate a protein phosphatase that dephosphorylates a key serine residue in the hinge 1 region of nitrate reductase and thereby activates the enzyme
b) In Dark, and Mg2+ stimulate a protein kinase that phosphorylates the same serine residues, which then interact with a 14-3-3 inhibitor protein, and thereby inactivate nitrate reductase
c) In Light, and Mg2+ stimulate a protein kinase that phosphorylates the serine residues, and thereby activate nitrate reductase
d) In Dark, and other environmental factors stimulate a protein phosphatase that dephosphorylates a key serine residue in the hinge 1 region of nitrate reductase and thereby inactivates the enzyme
Which of the following statements about regulation of nitrate reductase is correct?
