Minerals enter the root cells through a process called diffusion.Minerals are found dissolved the soil around the root. When minerals dissolve in water they break up into ions. These ions are very small and enter through the holes in the cell membrane.The absorption of mineral salts take place through the root hairs.When the mineral concentration is higher in the soil than in the cells of the root hair then the minerals pass through the cell membrane -from a higher concentration of minerals in the soiltoa lower concentration of minerals in the root hair cells.This process is called diffusion and does not require energy.
The process that enables both sperm cells and root hair cells to move and absorb minerals is called active transport. Active transport is a biological process in which molecules or ions are transported across a cell membrane against their concentration gradient, requiring energy from the cell. This process enables sperm cells to swim towards the egg and root hair cells to uptake minerals from the soil.

No it enters by diffusion
BY osmosis i.e the concentration gradient created between the outside and the root hairs cells. Water will flow from a high area of concentration to a low area of concentration across a partially permeable membrane

Nitrates enter the cell through the process of active transport. Nitrates are essential for development of leaves of a plant and are absorbed through root hair cells.
there are about thousands of root hairs
No it enters by diffusion
acquire minerals from the soil
BY osmosis i.e the concentration gradient created between the outside and the root hairs cells. Water will flow from a high area of concentration to a low area of concentration across a partially permeable membrane
To speed up osmosis root hair cells have a large surface area. Root hair cells absorb water and minerals from surrounding soil.
they provide a good surface area to absorb water and minerals from the soil
Root hair cells absorb ions (including water molecules),
Hair and nails are made of the protein, keratin as well as other minerals in the body. The healthier you eat, the better your hair and nails will grow because all the vitamins and minerals put into your body are put back out through your hair and nails.
