Select all that are true regarding soil a. the most abundant element of soil is inorganic mater b. plants passively acquire cations by using ATP to pump H+ into the soil c. soil plays key roles in water regulation and buffering of pollutants d. soil is an essential source of carbon for plants e. plants use H+ from photosynthesis to acquire cations f. anions are unbound in the soil and freely travel into plant roots with water g. cation exchange is required because cations are bound to negatively charged soil particles h. H+ works well for the cation exchange because it is a small molecule with a strong charge 2.
