Plants employ active transport to absorb mineral ions because the concentration of these ions is typically higher within the root hair cells than in the surrounding soil.
Plants use active transport to absorb mineral ions because their concentration is higher in root hair cells than in the surrounding soil.
| Front | Why do plants use active transport to absorb mineral ions? |
|---|---|
| Back | Because the concentration of minerals is higher in the root hair cells than in the soil around them, so they use active transport instead of diffusion. |
