Elements are absorbed from the soil solution in the form of ions. Uptake of mineral ions, can be divided in two main phases. In the first phase, uptake of mineral ions occurs freely between external solution and free space or outer space (intercellular space and cell wall) of cell. It is called passive absorption and it does not require any metabolic energy. In the second phase, ions are taken into the inner space (cytoplasm and vacuole).This entry or exit is active, as it requires metabolic energy. Hence, it is called active absorption.
