Transport of minerals from soil to epidermal cells of roots via carrier protein molecules along their concentration gradient is called:
Correct answer: B. Facilitated diffusion
- A. Diffusion
- B. Facilitated diffusion
- C. Passive transport
- D. Active transport
Explanation
The transport of minerals from the soil to the epidermal cells of roots via carrier protein molecules along their concentration gradient is known as facilitated diffusion. In facilitated diffusion, carrier proteins in the cell membrane assist in the movement of specific molecules, such as minerals, across the membrane without requiring energy.

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.
