In 1860, Julius von Sachs, a prominent German botanist, demonstrated, for the first time, that plants could be grown to maturity in a defined nutrient solution in complete absence of soil. This technique of growing plants in a nutrient solution is known as hydroponics. Since then, a number of improvised methods have been employed to try and determine the mineral nutrients essential for plants. The essence of all these methods involves the culture of plants in a soil-free, defined mineral solution. These methods require purified water and mineral nutrient salts.

3) After watching the "cell junctions," "passive transport," and "active transport" videos, please complete the following: Draw an intestinal epithelial cell. Label: "apical/luminal membrane," "basolateral membrane," "intestine lumen," "blood vessel," "intracellular fluid (ICF)," "interstitial fluid/extracellular fluid (ECF)." Then, illustrate the pathway (including the transport proteins) that a Na+ molecule takes from the intestinal lumen to the interstitial fluid on the basolateral side of the cell. Label the transporters with names and type of transport (facilitated diffusion, active, etc). Indicate the concentration gradient across the membrane where each transporter is found. Indicate the energy source for each transporter. Repeat bullets 2-4 for glucose, instead of Na+. Finally, add water. Diagram how water moves from lumen to blood including both "pathway" and "driving force".
