Is mineral movement into plant roots passive or active transport?
active transport
Is the mineral movement into plant root passive transport or active transport?
active transport
Is mineral movement into plant root part of an active transport or passive transport?
Both
Is mineral movement into plant root an active transport or passive transport?
You'll have to be more specific. It can be either. The distinguishing feature is that active transport requires energy to occur, passive does not
Is minerals movement into plant root passive or active?
active transport
Is there any movement in the pitcher plant?
There is no movement in any described genus of pitcher plant. All are entirely passive.
How is active transport different from possive transport?
Active transport need energy from outside to perform a function whereas in passive transport the function is performed on the principle of physics. for example active absorption of minerals by the plant roots require energy from respiration whereas passive absorption is achieved by law of diffusion.
Give two differences between active transport and passive transport?
Active transport requires energy, passive transport just happens. If there is more of a certain molecule on one side of a membrane than the other, molecules that CAN fit through the membrane will do, so the concentration will even itself out. No work has to be done to achieve this. SO when you breathe in, oxygen just diffuses across from the air into your blood, because there's plenty of it in the air. But if a plant needs to get say magnesium from the soil (which it needs to make chlorophyll) then it is not going to get much by diffusion, because there's not much in the soil and probably more in the plant. It will need to use active transport ie a protein in the cell wall will pick up the substance wanted and flip it into the cell, and this costs the cell some energy.
How are minerals transported by plants?
Plants employ osmosis to move minerals into plant root cells. To transport minerals to the plant proper, energy is required so active transport is employed.
What is a passive plant?
It is a plant that catches prey without moving.
What are the advantages of transpiration?
Perhaps the gratest benefit of transpiration is that it uses solar energy to drive passive movement of water and minerals from soil to leaves. The plant does not expend energy moving this water.
What are 2 processes used to move macromolecules and food particles across the cell membrane?
Osmosis moves water (only) on a concentration gradient, from a high concentration to a low concentration. Active trasnport is the forced movement of chemicals via particular proteins which move when TCP is near.
