Prepare for NEET Biology Mineral Nutrition with MCQs & PYQs on NEET.GUIDE. Enjoy free practice, previous year questions, and expert solutions to understand nutrient uptake and deficiency.
Mycorrhizae enhance nutrient uptake in plants primarily by increasing:
Rate of transpiration
Root hair length
Surface area for absorption
Photosynthetic rate
Root hairs are important for ion uptake primarily because they:
Store absorbed ions
Actively transport ions into the xylem
Increase the surface area for absorption
Synthesize carrier proteins for ion transport
Iron is essential for plant growth. In which form is iron primarily absorbed by plants from the soil?
Ferrous (Fe2+)
Ferric (Fe3+)
Elemental Iron (Fe)
Iron Oxide (Fe2O3)
Nitrogen is absorbed mainly in which of its given in the form, from the soil?
Nitrate
Nitrogen gas
Nitrite
Atmospheric Nitrogen
In the initial phase of minerals absorption ions are taken up
Slowly
Rapidly
Fluently
Simultaneously
For the uptake of ions in the second phase of absorption of minerals, the pathway followed is called
Passive uptake
Active uptake
Neutral
None of these
The term โouter spaceโ represents โฆAโฆ, while โinner spaceโ represents โฆBโฆ with reference to absorption of minerals
