Absorption of elements by plants happens in two phases where:
1. The first phase is rapid into the apoplast and is passive and the second phase is slow into the symplast and is active.
2. The first phase is slow into the apoplast and is passive and the second phase is rapid into the symplast and is active.
3. The first phase is slow into the apoplast and is active and the second phase is rapid into the symplast and is passive.
4. The first phase is rapid into the apoplast and is active and the second phase is slow into the symplast and is passive.
