CATION AND ANION EXCHANGE
Add your company slogan
CAPACITY
Some soil particles called ‘aluminosilicates’, or
‘layer silicates’, have a negative charge that
attracts positively charged ions (cations) such as
ammonium (NH4+) in the same way that hair is
attracted to a balloon. Other soil particles, such
as iron hydroxides (e.g. rust), have positive
charges that attract negatively charged ions
(anions), such as sulfate (SO4-2). Soils generally
have much higher amounts of the layer silicates
than metal hydroxides; therefore, soils generally
have a ‘net,’ or bottom line, negative charge.

Obtaining Water and Minerals from Add your company slogan
the Soil
Water and most minerals are obtained from soil. Water moves into
roots from the surrounding soil spaces by diffusion. Most minerals must
be absorbed as watersoluble ions. Water from rainfall percolates
through soil spaces and forms a film around soil particles.
Soluble ions (minerals) dissolve into H2O from the surrounding soil
There is a competition for minerals by root absorption versus
leaching minerals through soil as water percolates past root region.
Water and dissolved minerals move into root in the root hair region
by diffusion and active transport
From the root hairs, nutrients move through the cortex, along
apoplastic (cell wall and intercellular spaces) and symplastic
pathways (using plasmodesmata as well as transmembrane
passage) and into the stele via the endodermis.
From the stele, most minerals are moved along with water in xylem
throughout the plant.
