Summary Introduction
To Draw: A sketch of exchange of cations, a root hair, soil particle representing anion, and hydrogen ion displacing a cation.
Concept Introduction: The cations including K+, Ca2+, and Mg2+ adhere to soil particles because soil is negatively charged. This prevents the leaching out of cations out of the soil through percolating ground water. During exchange of cations, they are displaced by other cations from soil. Displaced cations then enter the soil solution and can be taken up by the plant roots.

B) If you have a mesophyll cell in a leaf (a living, parenchyma cell in a leaf) with a slight positive
turgor pressure (Yp = 0.01 MPa) and solutes (Ys = -3.0 MPa), and it is next to a xylem vessel
element with very few solutes in the xylem sap (Ys = -0.01 MPa) but high physical tension (Yp
= - 2.0 MPa), which way will water flow?

- 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 cationsarrow_forwardWhich one of the following statement is wrong?
