Find the incorrect statement with respect to mineral absorption 

1. Uptake of K+ ions into outer or free space of cells is passive

2. In the metabolic phase Ca2+ ions pass into inner space, i.e, cytoplasm and vacuole

3. Absorption of ions into inner space is passive 

4. Maximum mineral absorption occurs through zone of cell elongation
