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.

What are Constant/control variables
Alik [6]

Answer:

constant = changes and control is used as the basis of comparison

Explanation:

Constant variables are variables that do not change

e.g such as the temperature ( if it's meant to be kept at a constant temp).

Control variables are meant to be kept constant to allow for a comparison and thus determine the effect of IV (independant variable) and DV ( dependant variable)

5. Does a woman have periods while she is pregnant? ​
Montano1993 [528]

Answer:

No

Explanation:

A period is when your body produces a layer of tissue and blood to protect the baby. But the period is when your body is like "oops, false alarm" and disposes of the tissue and blood. During pregnancy, the baby is kept safe by the tissue and blood, that is why women don't have periods during pregnancy.
