Q

Where does active transport occur?

A
  • Inside the gut for animals

- Root hair cells for plants

21
Q

why do plants need mineral ions?

A

for healthy growth

22
Q

TWO ways in which active transport differs from diffusion?

A
  1. Active transport is from a low to high concentration area wether diffusion is from a high to low area of concentration.
  2. Active Transport uses energy.
23
Q

what do specialised exchange surfaces do?

A

A specialised exchange surface gives a greater area, so more oxygen can be absorbed and more carbon dioxide can be removed.

24
Q

if there is a high surface area, will it be easier for stuff to move between an organism and its environment?

A

Yes
