1
Q

What is active transport?

A

The movement of particles from a low to an area of high concentration, using energy from respiration and a carrier protein

Q

How do root hair cells take in nitrate ions?

A

Using active transport through carrier proteins that change shape and push ions into the cell using energy

Q

What would normally happen if a substance is more concentrated inside than outside the cell?

A

It would diffuse out of the cell.

Q

Why doesn’t diffusion work for nitrate uptake in plants?

A

Because nitrate concentration is higher inside the root hair cell, so diffusion would move them out instead of in.

Q

Why do potato strips in distilled water get longer?

A

Water enters the cells by osmosis since the water concentration is higher outside.
