<u>Answer</u>:- Active transport

<u>Explanation</u>:-

There are two types of membrane transports

1. Passive transport - this type of transport occurs without the input of any energy and the molecules move along the concentration gradients that is from <em>high concetration to low concentration.</em>

2. Active transport- this type of transport takes place to move the molecules against the concentration gradient that is from <em>low concentration to high concentration.</em>

<em>The active transport is of two types:</em>

1. <em>Primary active transport-</em> in this type of transport <em>ATP</em> is used as an energy source to move the substances against the concentration gradient.

2.<em>Secondary active transport</em> - in this type of transport the gradient formed by the active transport is utilized and it involves the movement of 2 substances at a time aross the membrane. That is the movement of one molecule is coupled to another.


  • The membrane proteins that are associated with active transport are called as <em>carrier proteins</em>. These proteins have a binding site for the molecules that they transport. Once they bind to the specific molecules, a conformation change is induced and this leads to the transport of the molecule across the membrane.

So, the <em>active transport is basically responsible for utilizing the energy from ATP and carrier proteins to move the substances across the membrane against their concentration gradient i.e. from low concentration to high concentration.</em>

Xelga [282]
<h2>c.is the correct option</h2>

Explanation:

Fungi might assist in seed germination by providing the embryos with some of the organic nutrients the fungi have absorbed

  • Fungi is an eukaryote which digests food externally and absorbs nutrients directly through its cell walls
  • Fungi absorb nutrients through following three ways:
  • By decomposing dead organic matter: obtains its nutrients from non-living organic matter, usually dead and decaying plant or animal matter, by absorbing soluble organic compounds
  • By feeding on living hosts:fungi live in or on other organisms and get their nutrients from their host
  • Living mutualistically with other organisms: mutualistic fungi live harmlessly with other living organisms;fungal component absorb water and minerals and provide them to algal component which uses them to make food

In dark,moist environment nutrient availability is less hence fungi helps in providing orchid seeds the nutrients which it has absorbed
