The concentration of mineral ions in the soil water is less than that inside the root hair cells |
|
Answer» The process REQUIRES energy. For plants to take up MINERAL ions, ions are moved into root HAIRS, where they are in a higher concentration than in the dilute solutions in the soil. Active TRANSPORT then OCCURS across the root so that the plant takes in the ions it needs from the soil around it. |
