I do: Plants require ions for healthy growth. If the mineral ions in
the soil are in very dilute solutions explain how plants absorb the
ions into their root hairs (3)

• In order for the mineral ions to move from the dilute

concentration (in the soil) to the higher concentration (inside
the root hairs)
• the ions need to move against the concentration gradient
(1).
• This is called active transport (1),
• it is an active process so energy is required from respiration
(1).
