Options:

  1. Active transport
  2. Facilitated diffusion
  3. Endocytosis
  4. Simple diffusion

Correct Answer: Active transport

Solution: 

Active transport is the primary mechanism for nutrient absorption in plant roots, allowing plants to uptake minerals against their concentration gradient.

Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

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.
