Which of the following is not a feature of active transport of solutes in plants?

Options

  1. AOccurs against concentration gradient
  2. BNon-selective
  3. COccurs through membranes
  4. DRequires ATP

Correct answer

B. Non-selective

Step-by-step solution

Option (b) is not a feature of active transport of solutes in plants. Active transport of solutes in plants is carried out by membrane proteins. Like enzymes, the carrier proteins are very specific (i.e. selective) in what they carry across the membranes. Active transport uses energy (ATP) to pump molecules against a concentration gradient.
