• 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
