Root cell adaptation to prevent the cell solutes from equilibrating with the water in the soil includes
I. semipermeable membranes that prevent the transfer of large molecules.
II. cell membranes that can prevent the transfer of water out of the cell.
III. cell membranes that can actively transport ions across the gradient.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Root cells use semipermeable membranes to prevent large molecules from passing through and actively transport ions to maintain concentration gradients, but they do not prevent water from moving out of the cell.
