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.

B) If you have a mesophyll cell in a leaf (a living, parenchyma cell in a leaf) with a slight positive turgor pressure (Yp = 0.01 MPa) and solutes (Ys = -3.0 MPa), and it is next to a xylem vessel element with very few solutes in the xylem sap (Ys = -0.01 MPa) but high physical tension (Yp = - 2.0 MPa), which way will water flow? a) from the mesophyll cell into the vessel element b) from the vessel element into the mesophyll cell c) neither direction. They are at equilibrium. Activa GoroSe
