Translocation of Mineral Ion’s in the Plant

In this article we will discuss about the Translocation of Mineral Ion's in the Plant. Plants obtain their supply of carbon and most of their oxygen from CO2 of atmosphere, hydrogen from water while the rest are minerals which are picked up individually from the soil. Minerals exist in the soil as ions which cannot directly cross the cell membranes. [...]

Difference between Diffusion and Osmosis | Plants

The upcoming discussion will update you about the differences between Diffusion and Osmosis. Difference # Diffusion: 1. It is the movement of all types of substances from the area of their higher free energy to the area of their lower free energy. 2. Diffusion can operate in any medium. 3. Diffusion is applicable to all types of substances— solids, liquids [...]

Difference between Diffusion and Imbibition | Plant Physiology

The upcoming discussion will update you about the differences between Diffusion and Imbibition. Difference # Diffusion: 1. Diffusion is movement of substances from the region of their higher concentration to the region of lower concentration. 2. An adsorbent is absent. 3. All the substances present in the medium show diffusion. 4. There is little change in pressure. 5. Energy is [...]
