Which of the following is not a feature of active transport of solutes in plants?

1. Requires ATP
2. Occurs against concentration gradient
3. Non-selective
4. Occurs through membranes

Correct answer: Non-selective

Solution

Active transport in plants is selective because membrane transport proteins recognize specific ions or molecules. It also uses ATP, moves substances against their concentration gradient, and occurs across membranes.
