the roots
Water and minerals are absorbed through the intestines. But some minerals like magnesium can be absorbed through the skin.
No. They get absorbed in the system when they're ingested.
esophagus
Minerals such as calcium, iron, and magnesium are absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract without being digested first.
Water and dissolved minerals are absorbed by plants through their roots. The roots have tiny root hairs that increase surface area, allowing for absorption. Water moves from the soil into the roots through a process called osmosis, and minerals are absorbed through active transport mechanisms.
liquid (e.g. water) and minerals.
Some minerals can be absorbed through the skin, but the extent of absorption varies depending on factors such as the type of mineral, its concentration in the product, and the condition of the skin. Minerals in skincare products like magnesium and zinc can penetrate the skin barrier and provide benefits.
Yes , minerals are more easily absorbed from animal food sources as opposed to supplements because minerals generally require and are better absorbed with a protein/amino acid than taken alone.
to a molecular level
No, minerals cannot be broken down by digestion. They remain intact and are absorbed by the body in their original form.
The plant absorbs water with it's roots, which will be rooted into the soil you put fertiliser in. The minerals will be absorbed by the roots.
Nutrients such as carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins, and minerals are absorbed from the digestive tract directly into the blood.
