Mineral ions are taken up by the roots through $......$ transport and water is taken up through $...........$ transport.

Unlike water,all minerals cannot be passively absorbed by the root because the concentration of minerals in the soil is usually ....... than the concentration of minerals in the root.

Explain the importance of the apoplast and symplast in the absorption of minerals.

Write a short note on the uptake of mineral ions.

The absorption of mineral nutrients always occurs through active transport because . . . .

Why does active transport occur in roots?
