Active transport of solute in plants ref...

Active transport of solute in plants refers to flow of solutes against a concentration ogradient and therefore requires input of enrgy. This energy is derived.

A

Always from hydrolysis of ATP

B

Not only from ATP hydrolysis but also from the collapse of a proton motive force

C

Partly form the input from ATP hydrolysis and partly from the collapse of a proton motive force

D

From the different sources depending on the solutes

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Active transport refers to the movement of molecules against conc. gradient i.e. form the region of low conc. to high conc. by utilization of energy in the form of ATP
