Question
What is passive abdorption ?
Open in App
Solution
It is the absorption of minerals without direct expenditure of metabolic energy.
Passive absorption of ions by root system was demonstrated by Briggs and Robertson (1957).
(i) Mineral salt absorption is not affected by temperature and metabolic inhibitors.
(ii) Rapid uptake of ions occurs when plant tissues are transferred from a medium of low concentration to high concentration.
