(N/A) Minerals in plants are transported based on their mobility within the plant body:
$1$. Mobile Minerals: Minerals like $Phosphorus$,$Sulphur$,$Nitrogen$,and $Potassium$ are highly mobile. They are readily mobilized from older,senescing parts (like dying leaves) to younger,developing parts (like new leaves) of the plant.
$2$. Immobile Minerals: Minerals like $Calcium$ are structural components of the plant cell wall and are not remobilized. Therefore,they are not transported from older parts to younger parts once they are incorporated into the structure.
