Passive absorption of minerals depends on:
Correct answer: B. Temperature and metabolic inhibitor
- A. Temperature
- B. Temperature and metabolic inhibitor
- C. Metabolic inhibitor
- D. Humidity
Explanation
Rate of salt absorption increases when temperature increases but to a certain limit as salt absorption is inhibited at higher temperature because certain enzymes are not active at higher temperature and carriers are not synthesised. These carriers are required for active transport of salts from outer space in inner space. So correct option is A.

About Circulation
The circulatory system covers the chambers, valves and conducting pathway of the human heart, along with the cardiac cycle and control of heartbeat. It compares arteries, veins and capillaries by structure and function, and explains how the lymphatic system returns tissue fluid, transports absorbed fats and supports immunity.
