Answer 2

Answer:

c) Dialysis

Reason:

➛ Dialysis is an artificial process, whereas others are biological processes and conducts minerals around a plant.

Explanation:

• Transpiration is the evaporation of water from the leaves of the plant. It produces the force which draws water up to the stem.

• The movement of sucrose and other substances for proteins like amino acids around a plant is called translocation.

• Dialysis is a process in which a dialyser, a machine is used to filter the blood of a patient whose kidneys are damaged.

• The water absorbed by plants is called sap, because of it is actually a dilute solution of minerals. The upward movement of water or sap from the roots towards the top of the plant is called conduction or ascent of sap.
