The structure and architecture of the root can alter the rate of nutrient uptake.
Polysorbate 80 is a surfactant which assists in nutrient uptake by Lactobacilli.
The outer membrane that is involved in nutrient uptake remains constant.
Flux rates are most easily measured for nutrient uptake at the edge of the network.
Potassium is essential for strong roots and increased nutrient uptake.
Cestodes do not have a gut so the tegument is therefore critical for nutrient uptake.
At least two of the clag3 genes appear to be involved in the surface anion channel which functions in nutrient uptake.
The efficiency of nutrient uptake by crops from fertilizers or residue release is generally thought to be similar.
Serving mainly to absorb water and to anchor the plant to the ground, the roots are relatively useless for nutrient uptake.
The colonies of this bryozoan are also known to interrupt nutrient uptake by seaweed.
