Question

Active uptake of minerals depends upon
(a) active water absorption
(b) transpiration
(c) photorespiration
(d) dephosphorylation

Answer 1

Active uptake of minerals:

• Option “A” is correct i.e. active water absorption.

• Active uptake of minerals depends on active water absorption.

• This active absorption of water takes place through active transport.

• Though water is absorbed by the plants through osmosis, minerals are absorbed as ions by active transport (transport against the concentration gradient, by spending cellular energy).

 

Answer 2

Active uptake of the minerals depends upon the active water absorption.

Answer A

Explanation-

• Active absorption is about the absorption of water by the plants through the root hairs. There is active absorption of water where the root hairs absorbs water through osmosis process.
• Osmosis process occurs when water moves from the area of higher concentration to the lower area concentration.

• In water absorption process the minerals and water actively rises and spreads through the whole plant body.

• Active transport is a transport which takes place against the concentration gradient with inclusion of the cellular energy.
