The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding which statement is correct about transport mechanisms in plants, we need to analyze each option provided. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Types of Transport:** - There are two main types of transport mechanisms: **Facilitated Transport** and **Active Transport**. - **Facilitated Transport** (also known as facilitated diffusion) does not require energy (ATP) and occurs along the concentration gradient. - **Active Transport** requires energy (ATP) to move substances against their concentration gradient. 2. **Evaluate the First Statement:** - The first option states that "both facilitated transport and active transport are sensitive to inhibitors." - This is true because both processes involve proteins (transport proteins in facilitated transport and pumps in active transport) that can be inhibited by certain substances. 3. **Evaluate the Second Statement:** - The second option claims that "facilitated transport and simple diffusion require ATP." - This statement is incorrect. Both facilitated transport and simple diffusion are passive processes and do not require ATP. 4. **Evaluate the Third Statement:** - The third option states that "both facilitated transport and active transport are selective." - This statement is correct. Both transport mechanisms exhibit selectivity, meaning they allow specific substances to pass through. 5. **Conclusion:** - The correct statements are the first and third options. However, since the question asks for which of the following is correct, we can conclude that the first option is correct. ### Final Answer: The correct statement is: **Both facilitated transport and active transport are sensitive to inhibitors.**
