Question

Statement A: The process of absorption of minerals is divided into 2 phases. Statement B: One phase of absorption is passive while the other is active.

• A. Both the statements are true
• B. Both the statements are false
• C. Statement A is true but Statement B is false
• D. Statement B is true but Statement A is false

Answer 1

Answer:

A. Both the statements are true

• The process of absorption of minerals is demarcated into two main phases.

• The first is the uptakes of ions into the outer space of cell-the apoplast via passive process.

• The second phase is the slow uptake of ions into the inner space of cell–the symplast via active process.
