Hlorophyll is found in plant leaves and absorbs light from the sun to enable plants to perform photosynthesis. Magnesium is an important component of chlorophyll. The concentration of magnesium ions is higher in the root-hair cells of plants than in the soil. Which mechanism of ion uptake would best enable a plant to produce a steady supply of chlorophyll? osmosis diffusion passive transport active transport

Answer - Active Transport

Reasoning - Since it needs a production of steady supply chlorophyll it will have to do a active transport going against the concentration gradient.
