Question

What is active transport in the roots of plants?

Answer 1

Active transport:

1. Transport of molecules across a cell membrane against a concentration gradient using a certain amount of energy is defined as active transport.
2. It happens in the root cells of a plant by absorbing water and minerals.
3. The movement of molecules from roots to the leaves occurs by the process called transpiration.
4. Xylem and Phloem are the tissues that are responsible for the process.
