Question

Discuss the factors affecting the uptake of solute by roots

Answer 1

increase in kinetic energy or hypertonic liquid in root

Answer 2

The thesis is primarily concerned with the rate of uptake of nutrients by plant roots in relation to the ability of soil to supply nutrients to roots by diffusion and by mass flow. In Chapter One, some current concepts of the chemistry and availability of plant nutrients in soil are briefly discussed. Particular attention is paid to work that stresses the role of the dynamic processes of diffusion, and the mass flow of dissolved nutrients in the transpiration stream, in supplying nutrient...
