When roots take up mineral ions, they are built up against their concentration gradient. both anion and cation transport utilize

s an electrochemical gradient set up by proton pumps. therefore, mineral ion transport is generally considered to be:
a. diffusion
b. primary active transport
c. osmosis
d. secondary active transport?

I believe the answer is B, primary active transport. Root hair cells in plant use active transport to absorb mineral ions such as nitrates from the soil. The concentrations of minerals in the soil are lower in the soil than in within the root hair cell, therefore the transport will be against the concentration gradient which does not favor diffusion, therefore the pant has to use active transport.

Plasma membrane - protect cell from it's surroundings. In both kinds of cells.


Cytoplasm - supports rounded cell structure, within it are all the organelles. Contains chemicals needed by the cell. In both kinds of cells.


Nucleus - contains DNA and is the control center of the cell. In both kinds of cells.


Nuclear envelope - surrounds nucleus, makes sure important molecules (DNA) stay within the nucleus. In both cells.


Nucleolus - makes ribosomes. In both cells.


DNA - genetic information for development and function. In both cells.


Rough ER - produces proteins. In both cells.


Smooth ER - makes and stores lipids (fats). In both cells.


Golgi body - sort and process macromolecules (proteins, lipids, etc). In both cells.


Ribosomes - makes proteins. In both cells.


Vacuoles - very large in plants, a storage center. In both cells.


Lysosome - digests and removes wastes. In both cells.


Mitochondria - energy powerhouse, produce ATP energy. In both cells.


Cytoskeleton - shapes, supports, and facilitates movement. In both cells.


Centrioles - cell division (form spindle fibers). Only in animal cells.


Cilia - movement for microorganisms. Only in animal cells.


Chloroplasts - photosynthesis, helps absorb sunlight and make food for the plant. Only in plant cells.


Cell wall - strength, structure, filters molecules going in and out of the cell. Only in plant cells.


Central Vacuole - holds materials and wastes, helps maintain proper pressure within the cell. Only in plant cells.


Hope this helps!

exis [7]
<span>B is the correct answer. Multicellular organisms, as with almost all organisms, begin life as a single cell. The increase in the number of cells can be as a result of cell division or cells combining together. </span>
