Q. Some statements are given regarding the active transport in plants. Choose the incorrect statement
A) Active transport need energy to pump molecules against the concentration gradient
B) It is carried out with the help of membrane protein
C) Due to more concentration of charged particles in soil then the concentration in roots, active absorption of mineral takes place
D) All of the above
Explanation
Transport of minerals through xylem from the soil to plant takes place by active transport. This active transport need energy to move molecules against the concentration gradient. This is facilitated with membrane proteins due to less concentration of minerals ions in the soil. minerals are transported into root cells by active transport
