What is the function of root hair cell?

The function of the root hair cell in plant is to absorb water and mineral salts.


Is The high concentration of mineral ions in the plant cells causes water molecules to move into the plant by diffusion?

False


Why do plants need minerals elements?

Plants get their mineral ions from a bumblebee pulling off a petal then escreting into the flower, giving the plant its ions.


What is the function of the specialized cells in the outer walls of the plant roots?

The specialized cells help to facilitate diffusion of substances into the plant (especially mineral ions and water). However the whole root system serves this process through acrive transport of the mineral ions which creates a diffusion gradient.


Where is Evian mineral water sourced from?

No, evian is quite the opposite, containing many more ions than normal drinking water. Distilled water would actually be less beneficial to the body, as ions are an important nutrient for growth and respiration.


Can you plant seeds without soil?

Hydroponics (from the Greek words hydro water and ponos labor) is a method of growing plants using mineral nutrient solutions, in water, without soil. Terrestrial plants may be grown with their roots in the mineral nutrient solution only or in an inert medium, such as perlite, gravel, or mineral wool. Researchers discovered in the 19th century that plants absorb essential mineral nutrients as inorganic ions in water. In natural conditions, soil acts as a mineral nutrient reservoir but the soil itself is not essential to plant growth. When the mineral nutrients in the soil dissolve in water, plant roots are able to absorb them. When the required mineral nutrients are introduced into a plant's water supply artificially, soil is no longer required for the plant to thrive. Almost any terrestrial plant will grow with hydroponics. Hydroponics is also a standard technique in biology research and teaching.


Why should you not expect the halides ions to dissolve in mineral oil?

halide ions strongly interact with the counter-ions. However, mineral oil is non-polar. To dissolve the halide ions (and the counter-ions) into mineral oil would drastically raise system energy. Thus it does not work. More simply, halide ions have a charge and won't easily dissolve in non-polar substances, since like-dissolves-like.


Do you need soil to plant a nectarine?

Yes you do, because otherwise the plant will not be able to absorb mineral ions found especially in soil. It is possible for plant to produce nectarine without the presence of soil, however close control will be required.


Why nitrate ions are important in plant leaf cell?

Nitrogen is the basic food of green plants - their "growth hormone" almost. A foliage plant not getting enough nitrogen will be spindly, yellow and sickly. Plentyh of nitrogen - lush green growth. But the N must be balanced with Potassium and Phosphorus for best growth.
