• The inward movement of ions into cells is called influx and the outward movement is efflux. • The process of absorption includes 2 phases: ☼ First phase: Initial rapid and passive uptake of ions into the apoplast(free space or outer space) of cells. It usually occurs through ion-channels (trans-membrane proteins that function as selective pores). ☼ Second phase: The ions are taken in slowly into the symplast(inner space or cytoplasm) of the cells. It is an active process. MECHANISM OF ABSORPTION OF ELEMENTS www.bankofbiology.com
• Mineral salts are translocated through xylem along with the ascending stream of water. Proof for transport of mineral salts through xylem Analysis of xylem sap shows the presence of mineral salts in it. Use of radioisotopes of mineral elements. TRANSLOCATION OF SOLUTES www.bankofbiology.com
