(A-D) True.
$(b)$ False. Not all mineral elements present in a cell are essential for the cell. For example,plants growing near radioactive mining sites accumulate radioactive elements,which are not essential for their growth.
$(c)$ False. Nitrogen is highly mobile in plants. It is readily mobilized from older,senescing parts to younger,developing parts.
$(d)$ False. It is very difficult to establish the essentiality of micronutrients because they are required in extremely small (trace) quantities,making it challenging to create a nutrient medium completely free of these elements.
