Answer:
The sodium-potassium pump is an active transporter because it needs to move sodium and potassium ions against the concentration gradient.
Explanation:
You have to think of it as outside vs inside the cell.
Outside the cell, you have 5mM K and 150mM Na. Inside the cell, you have 100mM K and 10mM sodium. Without the transporter then the ions would go from greater concentration to lower concentration. Energy keeps the ions going from the way they would naturally happen.
I think it would be D. because your hypothesis wasn't correct.
Answer:
The correct answer will be- phloem transports photsynthetic products to the roots
Explanation:
Phloem is the vascular tissue which specializes in transporting the solute molecules like sugar in the form of sucrose to in the plants.
The phloem connects the photosynthetic organ (Leaves) to non-photosynthetic organs (stem and roots) of the plants by transporting the photosynthates or sucrose to various parts.
Since the roots also need the energy to perform metabolic functions so need the photosynthates to synthesize the energy molecule. They receive the photosynthates from the phloem.
Thus, phloem transports photosynthetic products to the roots is the correct answer.
