Question

Identify the correct statement from the following.

• A. Organic and mineral nutrients undergo multi-directional transport.
• B. Organic compounds synthesized in the leaves are transported to storage organs only.
• C. The mineral nutrients present in the stem and leaves get transported to roots.
• D. Hormones and other chemical stimuli are not transported from their sites of synthesis.

Answer 1

The correct option is A

Organic and mineral nutrients undergo multi-directional transport.

Mineral nutrients are primarily absorbed by the roots and transported to different parts of the plant. Whereas organic nutrients based on their need in the plant body get transported in any direction, from the leaves to storage organs and from storage organs to different parts of the plant.
