A.
Carriers and pumps
Answer
B.
Difference in water potential
C.
Difference in DPD
D.
Molecular diffusion

Answer: Option A

Solution

Answer: Option A
Solution:
Ions are absorbed by plants through Carriers and pumps.
Pumps energise transport directly through coupling to the hydrolysis of phosphoanhydride bonds. Many carriers are energized by the downhill flow of H+ and channels allow the rapid, dissipative transport of cations driven by an electrochemical potential.
