Ion Permeability of the Plasmalemma of the Plant Cell

Abstract

MY statement, quoted by Mr. Walker, would be a non sequitur if “impermeable to cations” could be said not to imply permeability to anions. It is incorrect only if the alternative, the conductivity is independent of the concentration of anions, is correct. Mr. Walker can scarcely be maintaining this alternative.
