How the process of active transport could affect the rate of growth of plants if the process was operating all time?

Active transport allows plants to uptake essential nutrients from the soil against their concentration gradient, promoting growth. If active transport was operating all the time, it could result in a more efficient uptake of nutrients, leading to increased growth rates in plants. However, if active transport becomes excessive, it may lead to an imbalance in nutrient levels and potentially harm the plant's growth.
