Donnan equilibrium theory

Vedclass · Answer

(C) The $Donnan$ $equilibrium$ $theory$ explains the passive accumulation of ions in plant cells. According to this theory,when non-diffusible (fixed) ions are present on one side of a membrane,they influence the distribution of other diffusible ions to maintain electrical neutrality. This leads to an unequal distribution of diffusible ions across the membrane,resulting in the accumulation of ions against a concentration gradient without the expenditure of metabolic energy.

Column-$I$	Column-$II$
$(a)$ Capillary water	$(i)$ Present in the form of hydrated oxides of Silicon and Aluminum
$(b)$ Hygroscopic water	$(ii)$ Goes down through large pores between soil particles and reaches the water table
$(c)$ Combined water	$(iii)$ Held in between small non-colloidal soil particles
$(d)$ Gravitational water	$(iv)$ Held tightly around soil particles by adhesive forces

The passive accumulation of fixed and non-diffusible ions can be explained by which theory?
