What is the major process by which transport of materials occurs in single-celled organisms and simple multicellular plants?
- Diffusion (correct)
- Facilitated diffusion
- Osmosis
- Active transport
Why can't diffusion alone meet the requirements of transport in higher plants?
Why can't diffusion alone meet the requirements of transport in higher plants?
- Higher plants lack the necessary tissues for diffusion
- Higher plants have specialized tubes for transport
- Higher plants do not require active transport
- Diffusion is too slow for the transport needs of higher plants (correct)
