Question

Root hair cells have a high ion concentration . explain how this is maintained and its importance​

Answer 1

Answer:

Root hair cells are adapted for taking up water and mineral ions by having a large surface area to increase the rate of absorption. They also contain lots of mitochondria , which release energy from glucose during respiration in order to provide the energy needed for active transport.

Explanation:

To maintain the concentration gradient and so the constant movement of water into the root hair cell by osmosis, the root hair cell actively transports mineral salts into the cell.
