Question

What is meant by active transport of minerals in plants​

Answer 1

Answer:

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.

Explanation:

Active transport is the process of moving molecules across a cellular membrane through the use of cellular energy. ... Active transport involves molecules moving against a gradient or other form of resistance, such as from an area of lower to higher charge.

Answer 2

Answer:

Active transport is the net movement of particles against a concentration gradient.
