Question

Give the Biological/technical term for the following:

The process of uptake of mineral ions against the concentration gradient using energy from the cell.

Answer 1

1. Active transport is the process of mineral ion uptake against a concentration gradient using energy from the cell.
2. Plants transport chemicals and substances into and out of cells through a variety of methods. Some of them require energy, while others take place passively without requiring any.
3. The energy is consumed "in the form of ATP" in active transport, and the process is known as active absorption. The availability of oxygen is the most important factor in the active uptake of minerals by roots.
4. It only happens in one direction. It makes use of the ATP's energy. It causes materials to accumulate in the cell.
