  • active transport
    the movement of molecules across a membrane, from an area of lower concentration to an area of higher concentration, which requires energy from respiration
  • is active transport an active or passive process?
    active, as it requires energy
  • where does active transport take place?
    active transport can only take place across a membrane
  • where do plants absorb mineral ions from?
    the soil
  • why can't plants absorb mineral ions via diffusion?
    the plant's concentration is higher in the cell than in the soil
