What is the primary mechanism by which nutrients are absorbed by plant roots?
Correct Answer: Active transport
- Step 1: Understand that plants need nutrients from the soil to grow.
- Step 2: Know that nutrients are often present in low concentrations in the soil compared to the inside of the plant roots.
- Step 3: Learn that 'active transport' is a process that helps plants absorb these nutrients.
- Step 4: Realize that active transport requires energy, which the plant gets from sunlight or food.
- Step 5: Remember that through active transport, plants can take in minerals even when they are in lower amounts outside the roots.
