Let us make an in-depth study of the modern view of solute transport across membranes in plant. The mineral salts are absorbed by plants in their ionic form and so is their transport within plants. Certain solutes such as sugars are however transported across the membranes in uncharged state. For uncharged solutes (non-electrolytes), their movement across the membrane depends upon [...]
Let us make an in-depth study of the Mycorrhizae. After reading this article you will learn about their role in absorption of mineral salts by higher plant. The association of a fungus with root of a plant is called as mycorrhiza (plural, mycorrhizae). Mycoirhizae play very important and significant role in facilitating absorption of mineral salts by plant roots through [...]
Let us make an in-depth study of the mechanism of absorption of mineral salts from soil by plants. Mechanism of Mineral Salt Absorption: Previously, it was thought that the absorption of mineral salts from the soil took place along with the absorption of water but it is now well established that the mineral salt absorption and water absorption are two [...]
