NEET Biology question
Not in NEET syllabus
Study the following statements.
I. Most minerals must enter the roots by active absorption into the cytoplasm of epidermal cells. II. Ions are absorbed by both passive and active transport. III. Active absorption does not require energy. IV. Active uptake of ions is responsible for osmosis.
Choose the correct option in reference to the statements given above.
Answer: (B)
