Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The transportation of water and minerals in the xylem vessels is done through bulk flow or mass flow, which is a type of transport mechanism that involves the movement of substances in response to pressure differences or gradients. This process requires energy and is, therefore, an active transport mechanism. Diffusion and passive transport, on the other hand, involve the movement of substances from high to low concentration gradients without the need for energy. Therefore, the best choice is C, bulk flow.
