Root hairs absorb nutrients from soil against the nutrient concentration gradient. To achieve this, root hairs use - proton pumps.  

Root hairs are long tube shape outgrowths from root epidermal cells. These are also called absorbent cells as they absorb water and nutrients from the soil.

  • Nutrients are absorbed by the root hairs by a proton pump.
  • This proton pump builds up a proton gradient across a biological membrane.
  • Proton pumps catalyze the following reaction: H+ + energy ⇌ H +

Thus, Root hairs absorb nutrients from soil against the nutrient concentration gradient. To achieve this, root hairs use - proton pumps.
