What is Uptake in Plants about?
Plants absorb essential mineral nutrients from the soil through their roots, requiring thirteen different minerals for growth and development. Mineral uptake occurs via passive and active absorption, with specific proteins facilitating the transport of ions against concentration gradients. Water and minerals are then transported through the plant via xylem and phloem, utilizing processes such as transpiration and root pressure to move against gravity to the leaves for photosynthesis.
