Answer: D
X and Y
Explanation:
X The least amount of magnesium Took in magnesium
Y Slightly less magnesium than the cell Took in magnesium
Because active transport occurs when ions or molecules move from less concentration region to high concentration region through semi membrane with the help of some energy.
Answer:
Cells X and Y
Explanation:
Active transport occurs when a substance moves across a membrane against its concentration gradient.
Cells W and Z were placed in a liquid containing more magnesium than the cells. Magnesium therefore, diffuses passively down it’s concentration gradient into the cells.
However, cells X and Y were placed in a solution containing less magnesium than the cells, yet these cells took in magnesium against this concentration gradient. This, shows that active transport had taken place.
