Select the correct answer regarding cation exchange and plant mineral nutrition cation exchange is necessary because negatively charged ions are stuck to inorganic particles of soil cations are likely to leech out of the soil if there are drainage problems or flooding hydrogen ions freely diffuse out of plant roots into soil cation exchange works because plants substitute a strongly charged cation (H+) for required minerals waste products from cellular respiration provide an energetically free (no ATP needed) mechanism to exchange cations
