The first step in polar transport is auxin influx. According to the model, auxin can enter plant cells from any direction by either of two mechanisms:

a) Passive diffusion of the protonated (IAAH) form across the phospholipid bilayer

b) Secondary active transport of the dissociated (IAA–) form via a 2H+–IAA– symporter

c) Active diffusion of the protonated (IAAH) form across the phospholipid bilayer

Find out the correct statements of about diffusion of IAA.
