Does the plant roots absorb inorganic salt ions must be active
Plants absorb inorganic salts and do not necessarily absorb water. Plants absorb moisture and absorb inorganic salts are two relatively independent processes. Plants absorb moisture through the infiltration of root cells to absorb water, the process is essentially free of water diffusion process, neither the carrier nor the need for energy; and plant absorption of inorganic salts is carried out by means of active transport, This process requires the carrier and consumes the energy generated by cell metabolism. Of course, plant water absorption and absorption of inorganic salts are a certain association, inorganic salts to be dissolved in water to be absorbed, and inorganic salt ions in the transport of plants can not be separated from water.
