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.

Put the steps of DNA Replication in the correct order.
kramer

Answer:

1. The 2 bases forming each rung of the 'ladder' snap apart. This is caused by an enzyme that passes along the strands, 'unzipping' it

2. Spare nucleotides (in the nucleus of the cell) attach themselves to the 'broken rungs' to repair the break. Each repairing nucleotide is identical to the broken one

3. As each 'broken rung' is repaired, two 'ladders' form, that is 2 identical strands of DNA. The 'repairing' is really the process of replica
