Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which processes are responsible for the uptake of ions from the soil by a plant and the uptake of glucose into the villi of a human?
A
Uptake of ions by a plant-active transport Uptake of glucose into the villi-active transport
B
Uptake of ions by a plant-active transport Uptake of glucose into the villi-osmosis
C
Uptake of ions by a plant-diffusion Uptake of glucose into the villi-osmosis
D
Uptake of ions by a plant-osmosisUptake of glucose into the villi-active transport
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -So, the correct answer is ‘Active transport’.

Detailed explanation-2: -So, the correct answer is ‘Active transport’.

Detailed explanation-3: -Active transport is a process that is required to move molecules against a concentration gradient. The process requires energy. For plants to take up mineral ions, ions are moved into root hairs, where they are in a higher concentration than in the dilute solutions in the soil.

Detailed explanation-4: -Active transport is the process that helps to move the molecules against a concentration gradient. So, the active transport is the process that moves mineral ions into root hair cells through membrane proteins. Was this answer helpful?

Detailed explanation-5: -The process of uptake of mineral ions against the concentration gradient using energy from the cell is called active transport.
