Summary Introduction
To Draw: A sketch of exchange of cations, a root hair, soil particle representing anion, and hydrogen ion displacing a cation.
Concept Introduction: The cations including K+, Ca2+, and Mg2+ adhere to soil particles because soil is negatively charged. This prevents the leaching out of cations out of the soil through percolating ground water. During exchange of cations, they are displaced by other cations from soil. Displaced cations then enter the soil solution and can be taken up by the plant roots.

Relative water content is not a very sensitive index because leaves can show strong responses to <2% change in RWCb. Relative water content is not a very sensitive index because it gives no information about the forces for water movementc.

Explain what water potential is, and describe a specific example of its role in water movement throughout a plant.arrow_forwardWhat is the relationship between osmotic potential and plants when water with salinated water is used to water plants? E.G: How does it inhibit growth and why if the plant isn't salt tolerantarrow_forwardSelect the correct answer regarding cation exchange and plant mineral nutrition cation exchange is necessary because negatively charged ions are stuck to inorganic particles of soil cations are likely to leech out of the soil if there are drainage problems or flooding hydrogen ions freely diffuse out of plant roots into soil cation exchange works because plants substitute a strongly charged cation (H+) for required minerals waste products from cellular respiration provide an energetically free (no ATP needed) mechanism to exchange cationsarrow_forward
