A membrane protein in a plant root works with ATP to transport phosphate ions from a weak fertilizer solution in the soil and concentrates them in the cell's cytoplasm. This process is called: exocytosis active transport simple diffusion passive transport endocytosis facilitated diffusion

Step 1
The question mentions a membrane protein in a plant root that uses ATP (adenosine triphosphate) to transport phosphate ions from the soil, where they are in low concentration, into the cell's cytoplasm, where their concentration becomes higher. Show more…

The cell membrane plays an role in the transport of substances into and out of cells. Which is an example of passive transport? water molecules entering a cell through the pores in the membrane food molecules entering a cell via a food vacuole formed by the membrane potassium ions entering a cell through proteins in the membrane requiring the use of ATP glucose entering a cell through proteins in the membrane from areas of higher concentration
Sri K.
Glucose molecules cross the cell membrane by traveling through special proteins without the use of energy. This is known as: active transport osmosis passive transport simple diffusion
Adi S.
Facilitated transport differs from diffusion in that facilitated diffusion a. involves the passive use of a carrier protein. b. involves the active use of a carrier protein. c. moves a molecule from a low to a high concentration. d. involves the use of ATP molecules.
