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.
