Describe the role played by protein pumps during active transport of minerals in plants.
Answers
Answer:
In plant cells, protein pumps are used to transport the substances against the concentration gradient, i.e., from a region of lower concentration to a region of higher concentration. ... These specific proteins make a complex with the substance to be transported across the membrane, using the energy derived from ATP.
Explanation:
In plant cell protein pump are used to transport the substance against the concentration gradient. Protein pump are carrier protein which take part of solutes across the cell membrane which the help of energy in the form of ATP. On being activate with energy the protein pump picks up the solutes particles from outside and transport them to the inner side into the cytoplasm.
There are number of protein pump such as Na-k pump, Ca pump
