taking food converting into energy

any substance required for the growth and maintenance of an organism.

two types of organisms based on the mode of nutrition

Nutritional Requirements of Plants

organisms that cannot make their own food and obtain their energy from other organisms

plants is an autotrophs, give another example of autotrophs 

organisms that obtain energy from sunlight and chemicals to produce their own food

animals is an heterotrophs, give another example of heterotrophs

Essential Nutrients and Elements are divided into two, what are those?

These are nutrients required to be taken in minute amounts.

These are nutrients required to be taken in larger amounts.

________ and _______ are the raw materials needed for photosynthesis

the process by which plants convert the energy from sunlight into chemical energy.

help plant process CO2 & H2O = food (carbohydrates and starch)

help plant in order to produce glucose/ food 

comes below the soil (root system)

The routes for the absorption of water and minerals across plant roots

- facilitate the movement of nutrients

- channel for movement of materials

cytoplasm to cytoplasm

cell wall to cell wall

along cell walls

Specialized Absorptive Structures

Nutritional Adaptations of Plants

slender extensions

swelling of roots where bacteria exists

obtains sugar & nitrogen 

fungi/fungus (gives minerals) 

bacteria

root nodules

both benefit from each other

fungus/ fungi

one benefits, other is harmed

ex. mistletoe, Rafflesia

organism (predator) kill another one living organism (prey) for food 

ex. Venus fly trap, carnivorous plants 

needed to produce glucose coming from the environment

20 elements identify as needed by plant. These 20 elements are called __________
