Solution

Active transport:

At any given time the concentration of the minerals inside the plant cells will be more than the outside.

The uptake of these minerals by the cells are through the process of active transport.

Special membrane transport proteins called ion pumps utilise ATP molecules to transport mineral ions against the concentration gradient
