How does acid rain lead to a reduction in the amount of plant nutrients available in soil? O Cation exchange leads to covalent bonding of nutrients on soil particles, making them unavailable to plants. O Nutrient cations (like K*, Ca*+ etc) bind in place of protons released by soil particles, making the nutrients unavailable and the soil water more acidic. O Cations exchange places with anions during cation exchange, which confuses roots and turns LATS into HATS, after which the endodermis generates a caspian endothelium

Plant sensory system

The plant sensory system is a sophisticated system that responds to environmental stimuli such as light,temperature, gravity, and touch. Research predicts that plant hormones and signaling mechanisms areresponsible for this regulation system in plants.
