Question

Absorbed minerals are transportd to other parts of the plants by

• A. Diffusion
• B. Imbibition
• C. Ion exchange
• D. Water stream

Answer 1

The correct option is D Water stream

Minerals are absorbed into the roots by active and passive transport. Then, these minerals enter the water in xylem from the cells of pericycle (as well as of parenchyma cells surrounding the xylem) through specialized transmembrane channels, from where it is transported to other parts of the plants by the water stream.

So the correct answer is 'Water stream'.
