Mineral absorption in plants occurs mainly in the roots, specifically in the root hair cells. These cells have specialized structures called root hairs that increase surface area for absorption. Minerals are absorbed through the roots and transported to other parts of the plant through the xylem and phloem tissues.
What else can I help you with?
How does (prograde) occur?
In general, the changes in mineral assemblage and mineral composition that occur during burial and heating are referred to as prograde metamorphism.
What mineral can interfere with copper absorption and can lead to copper deficiency?
Zinc is a mineral that can interfere with copper absorption when consumed in excess. High levels of zinc can compete with copper for absorption in the intestines, leading to a copper deficiency over time. It is important to maintain a balance between zinc and copper intake to avoid potential deficiencies.
What do plants need?
Plants need sunlight for photosynthesis to produce food, water for hydration and nutrient absorption from the soil, and carbon dioxide for photosynthesis. Additionally, plants also need a suitable temperature and proper air circulation for optimal growth.
How does a plant get a supply of mineral salt?
Plants absorb mineral salts from soils and waters.
is food broken down when respiration in plants occur?
is food broken down when respiration in plants occur?
Do pigments affect the absorption of light in plants?
Yes they do affect the absorption of light in plants.
Can hard water kill plants?
Hard water can harm plants by causing mineral buildup in the soil, which can affect nutrient absorption. In severe cases, this can lead to plant death, but it is not a direct cause of death.
What interactions may occur with laxatives?
Mineral oil and docusate should not be used in combination. Docusate is an emulsifying agent which will increase the absorption of mineral oil. Bisacodyl tablets are enteric coated, and so should not be used in combination with antacids.
Where does absorption of glucose occur?

Will hard water kill plants?
Hard water can harm plants by causing mineral buildup in the soil, which can affect nutrient absorption. In severe cases, it can lead to plant death, but it is not typically lethal in small amounts.
